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 …

Crystalline borates have received great attention due to their various structures and wide
applications. For a long time, the corner-sharing B–O unit is considered a basic rule in …

During the last 60 years, new high pressure techniques and their exploitation have permitted
the extension of attainable pressure/volume conditions, increased versatility of the …

This is the first book to present both classical and quantum-chemical approaches to
computational methods, incorporating the many new developments in this field from the last …

Accurate, fast, and non-invasive methods for the determination of the local pressure
magnitude are crucial for the investigation of the physical and chemical behavior of …

High‐pressure/high‐temperature conditions of 10 GPa and 1150° C were used to
synthesize the new rare‐earth oxoborates α‐(RE) 2B4O9 (RE= Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) in a Walker …

The structural characteristics of all the borates available were analyzed using the Inorganic
Crystal Structure Database. The fundamental building blocks (FBBs) in 841 borates were …

Analysis of an atom s coordination and the linkage of polyhedra is of vital importance for
understanding crystal structures,[1] especially considering our general inability to forecast …

The polarization modulation of deep‐UV light is an important process that incorporates
functionality to selectively respond to light‐mater interaction. Typically, optical anisotropy is …

In the present study the thermal structure evolution is reviewed for known nonlinear optical
borates such as β-BaB2O4, LiB3O5, CsLiB6O10, Li2B4O7, K2Al2B2O7, and α-BiB3O6 …
