An overview of the properties of electron small polarons and bipolarons is given, which can
occur in the congruently melting composition of LiNbO 3 (LN). Such polarons influence the …

A review on lithium niobate single crystals and polycrystals has been prepared. Both the
classical and recent literature on this topic is revisited. It is composed of two parts with …

A review is given on the present state of knowledge about the experimental aspects of
intrinsic and extrinsic defects in LiNbO 3, with emphasis on point defects. A special section is …

We have performed an atomistic simulation study of the defect structure of LiNbO 3 crystals
resulting from Li 2 O deficiency and reduction treatments. Li 2 O excess is found to be …

The optical transmission of LiNbO3 single crystals has been measured in the wavelength
range 200–900 nm, for different degrees of reduction, to study the effect of reduction on the …

Optical absorption, electron spin resonance (ESR), thermoluminescence, and x‐ray‐
induced luminescence techniques have been used to characterize point defects in LiNbO3 …

An overview of optical nonlinearities of small bound polarons is given, which can occur in
the congruently melting composition of LiNbO 3. Such polarons decisively influence the …

Results of our recent shell-model calculations concerning the most important intrinsic and
extrinsic defect structures in LiNbO 3 are presented. Suitable energy minimization …

We explored a number of factors affecting the properties relevant to holographic optical data
storage by using a two-color recording scheme in reduced, near-stoichiometric lithium …
