Due to an increase in the requirement for ultraviolet and visible laser sources nonlinear
optical crystals are gaining importance. Borate-based nonlinear optical crystals such as …

We have investigated the spin and oxidation states of Co in Co 3 BO 5 using x-ray magnetic
circular dichroism (XMCD) and dc magnetic susceptibility measurements. At low …

Crystals of the rare-earth gallium borates RGa 3 (BO 3) 4, where R= Nd, Sm–Er, or Y, were
grown by the flux method. The crystal structures of RGa 3 (BO 3) 4 (R= Eu, Ho) were studied …

Single crystal of ErAl 3 (BO 3) 4 was grown and its structure was studied. Polarized
absorption spectra of ErAl 3 (BO 3) 4 single crystal were measured in the spectral range …
