Method for growing terbium-aluminum garnet crystal by using guide die pulling method

The invention relates to a method for growing a terbium-aluminum garnet crystal by using a guide die pulling method, comprising the following steps of: placing a guide die internally provided with a longitudinal gap into a crucible; adding a polycrystal raw material into the crucible; heating the crucible to melt the polycrystal raw material; immersing a molten mass of the polycrystal raw material into a gap at the lower part of the guide die so as to raise the molten mass of the polycrystal raw material to an upper surface of the guide die under the action of capillary effect along the longitudinal gap of the guide die; and then pulling a lower seed crystal into a single crystal consistent with the shape of the guide die. By the invention, a large-size terbium-aluminum garnet single crystal can be prepared, post processing procedures can be simultaneously simplified and the cost for preparing the crystal can be reduced; in addition, the growth speed of the crystal is high, the optical homogeneity of the prepared crystal is favorable and the problem that a large-size body single crystal is not difficult to prepare by adopting a pulling method can be solved.
