The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order
to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These …

Birefringent materials are of great importance in optical communication and the laser
industry, as they can modulate the polarization of light. Limited by their transparency range …

The α-and β-modifications of barium metaborate are important functional materials used in
optoelectronic devices. A new theoretically predicted modification of BaB2O4 has been …

Abstract Bulk crystals of Ba 2 Na 3 (B 3 O 6) 2 F (BNBF) have been successfully grown by
top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) technique. Its transmittance spectra show a wide …

LauePt is a robust and extremely easy-to-use Windows application for accurately simulating,
indexing and analyzing white-beam X-ray diffraction Laue patterns of any crystals under …

In this paper we study the optical properties of a family of borate crystals comprising alpha
and beta barium borates, barium fluoroborate, lithium triborate, and lithium tetraborate in the …

Two new barium borate fluorides LiBa12 (BO3) 7F4 and NaBa12 (BO3) 7F4 are obtained by
spontaneous crystallization from high-temperature flux. The two compounds are isostructural …

Three fluorooxoborates, K0. 42Rb2. 58B3O3F6 and M3B2PO5F4 (M= K, Cs), were designed
and synthesized under the open system. One of the common features is that the title …

Differential-thermal analysis, solid-state synthesis, X-ray diffraction, modified visual
polythermal analysis, and spontaneous crystallization were used to study the interaction …

The phase formation in the BaB2O4–BaF2 system has been studied. According to the
results obtained, the BaB2O4–BaF2 system is quasi binary with the eutectic at 760° C, 41 …
