Abstract
The deffect structure of Mg-doped lithium niobate crystals was studied with varying Mg doping concentration by means of Raman scattering measurements. The Mg content dependences of both the frequency and damping of the two lowest-frequency A1(TO) phonon modes were used to derive the Mg incorporation mechanism in the LiNbO3 lattice. Results indicated that Mg ions are located on the Li site for low doping and then replace both Li and Nb ions for larger concentration.
