Abstract

The effect of the dopants Ti, V, Cr. Mn, Ni, Ho, Er, Tm deliberately introduced into the melt of Czochralski grown lithium niobate (LiNbO~3~) crystals on their electrophysical properties — electric conductivity, dielectric permittivity and loss tangent — has been studied.

The characteristics were measured at temperatures up to 1200°C. The mechanism of dopant introduction into the crystalline lattice and the nature of electric conductivity of LiNbO~3~ at varius temperatures are discussed.
