Single crystalline lithium niobate-tantalate (LiTaxNb(1-x)O3, LNT) solid solutions are expected to overcome the problems of thermal instability of lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) and low Curie temperature of lithium tantalate (LiTaO3, LT). This work focuses on study of transport mechanisms in LNT crystals with different Nb/Ta ratio, grown by the Czochralski technique. The oxygen transport kinetics are investigated in the temperature range from 850°C to 1200°C using the stable isotope 18O as the tracer. Subsequently, the diffusion profiles are acquired by secondary ion mass spectrometry. The oxygen diffusion coefficients for LiNb0.88Ta0.12O3 single crystals at annealing temperatures of 850°C and 1000°C equal about 4.5 x 10-18 m2/s and 1.5 x 10-16 m2/s, respectively. Our previous 18O tracer experiments carried out on stoichiometric LN revealed a local maximum on the depth profiles, which was explained by the Li-diffusion out of the crystal structure. Such a maximum is not observed for LNT compound, which could possibly indicate an improved stability of the material.
