| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By employing a new concept of stoichiometry of a material where the activity of any constituent element could be unity, we developed a new lithium tantalate with MgO doping, cs－MgO:LT (Li2O: Ta2O5: MgO = 40.8:50.0:9.2), that is stoichiometric and coincident with the congruent composition. Because of this coincidence, cs-MgO:LT does not yield crystallization electromotive force and does not show segregation during growth even for ionic species. A bulk crystal was grown from the melt of the cs－MgO:LT composition via the Czochralski (CZ) method, and it showed excellent compositional homogeneity, which was proved by the constant distribution of the Curie temperature throughout the crystal.
