The ultraviolet short-pulse laser light emitted from the ultraviolet short-pulse laser light source 1 is focused on and caused to irradiate a macromolecular crystal 8 contained in a sample container 6 via a shutter 2, intensity adjusting element 3, irradiation position control mechanism 4, and focusing optical system 5. The sample container 6 is carried on a stage 7, and can be moved in three dimensions along the directions of the x, y and z axes in an x-y-z orthogonal coordinate system with the direction of the optical axis being taken as the z axis; furthermore, the sample container 6 can be rotated about the z axis. Working of the macromolecular crystal is performed by means of ultraviolet short-pulse laser light that is focused on and caused to irradiate the surface of the macromolecular crystal 8. In this way, various types of working can be securely performed on macromolecular crystals with little damage and by means of a simple operation.

The short-pulse laser light 9 emitted from the short-pulse laser light source 1 is focused on and caused to irradiate an organic crystal 8 contained in a sample container 6 via a shutter 2, intensity adjusting element 3, irradiation position control mechanism 4, and focusing optical system 5. The sample container 6 is carried on a stage 7, and can be moved in three dimensions along the x axis, y axis and z axis in an x-y-z orthogonal coordinate system with the direction of the optical axis being taken as the z axis; furthermore, the sample container 6 can be rotated about the z axis. Working of the organic crystal 8 is performed by means of short-pulse laser light that is focused on and caused to irradiate the surface of the organic crystal 8. Prior to working, nitrogen is caused to jet onto the sample container 6 by a low-temperature gas jet device C that is a cooling device; consequently, the organic crystal 8 is cooled to -150°C or below. As a result, it is possible to work the object of working in a fixed state, and to increase the working efficiency by means of the short-pulse laser light that is used.

摘要:
An apparatus for production of a crystal of Group III element nitride and process for producing a crystal of Group III element nitride, by which a crystal of high quality can be produced. The crystal growth by means of this apparatus can be performed in, for example, the following manner. Raw material for crystal (131) and nitrogenous gas are introduced in reaction vessel (120) and heated by means of heater (110), and a crystal is grown in pressurized atmosphere. The above gas is delivered from gas supply unit (180) through a gas inlet of the reaction vessel into the reaction vessel (120), and discharged from a gas outlet of the reaction vessel into the interior of pressure tight vessel (102). As the above gas is directly, without passing through the pressure tight vessel (102), introduced into the reaction vessel (120), the mingling of impurities adhering to the pressure tight vessel (102), etc. into a field of crystal growth can be avoided. Further, as the above gas flows through the interior of the reaction vessel (120), there can be avoided, for example, condensation of vaporized alkali metal, etc. at the gas inlet, etc. and inflow thereof into the gas supply unit (180), etc. As a result, the quality of crystal of Group III element nitride obtained can be enhanced.
