Abstract
A method was developed for synthesis of a single phase lithium tantalate charge doped by rare earth elements (TR) from highly pure solutions containing tantalum. The method is based on obtaining and thermal treatment of citrate precursor containing Li, Ta and TR. Charge samples were obtained due to suggested technological scheme; the dopant had given concentration and was chemically uniformly distributed. The charge can be applied both in single crystal growing technology and at obtaining of functional ceramics based on LiTaO3:TR.
