The lattice parameter change of Nd∶GGG crystal was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the least square fitting method. The results indicate that the lattice parameters of Nd∶GGG increase along the crystal growth direction. By analyzing the Nd∶GGG crystal structure and ions occupying site, the reason of lattice parameter change is mainly attributed to the volatilization of gallium ingredient and lead to the Ga vacancy sites(Oxygen octahedral center) were occupied by Gd3+ with large ionic radii, and that the substitute increases with the crystal growth direction. In addition, the Gd sites(oxygen dodecahedron center) were occupied by dopant Nd3+ with large ionic radii and the Nd3+ distribution coefficient in GGG crystal is smaller than 1, therefore, the substitute also increased with the crystal growth direction, which is another reason led to the lattice parameter increase along the crystal growth direction. In order to decrease the lattice parameter change and improve the crystal quality, some methods were adopted to restrain effectively the Ga2O3 volatilization and decrease the Nd3+ concentration change along the crystal growth direction.
