A gallium oxide single crystal particle according to the present invention is an α-Ga 2 O 3 single crystal particle and has a diameter and a height that exceed 100 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gallium oxide single crystal particle being an α-Ga 2 O 3 single crystal particle, the gallium oxide single crystal particle having a diameter and a height that exceed 100 μm, wherein a Raman peak closest to a Raman shift of 690 cm −1 has a half-width of 20 cm −1 or less, and wherein a surface of the gallium oxide single crystal particle has a surface roughness Ra of 100 nm or less. 2. The gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 1 , wherein a proportion of Ga atoms to O atoms is 0.70 to 1.00. 3. The gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 1 , wherein an X-ray rocking curve of at least one of (006) or (104) planes has a half-width of 300 arcsec or less. 4. The gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 1 , wherein a content of an alkali metal element is 1.2×10 15 to 1.0×10 18 atoms/cm 3 . 5. A method for producing the gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 1 , the method comprising: bringing an aqueous solution including a Ga ion, the aqueous solution having a pH of 9.0 to 11.0, into a supercritical state having a temperature of 390° C. or more and a pressure of 22.1 MPa or more to form an α-Ga 2 O 3 single crystal particle having a diameter and a height that exceed 100 μm. 6. The method for producing a gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 5 , wherein gallium oxide hydroxide is added to the aqueous solution before the aqueous solution is brought into the supercritical state having a temperature of 390° C. or more and a pressure of 22.1 MPa or more. 7. The method for producing a gallium oxide single crystal particle according to claim 5 , wherein the aqueous solution includes an alkali metal element.
