Abstract
The pure α-Al_2O_3 crystal was synthesized by hydrothermal method at 430℃ and 40 MPa. The Ti doped α-Al_2 O_3 was synthesized by doping Ti(OH)_4 in the precursors at the same condition. The shape of Ti doped α-Al_2O_3 crystals is complex, only a few are hexagonal prism. The surface of crystal is smooth, without coarse growing stripe as pure α-Al_2O_3 crystals. The titanium content of crystal was obtained by electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). The measure results show that the TiO_2 concentration in various crystals synthesized at the same condition is different. The maximal TiO_2 concentration in α-Al_2O_3 crystals is 0.27 wt%.
