Sa. Guretskii et al., GROWTH OF LITHIUM TRIBORATE SINGLE-CRYSTALS FROM MOLTEN-SALT SOLUTIONUNDER VARIOUS TEMPERATURE-GRADIENTS, Journal of crystal growth, 156(4), 1995, pp. 410-412
Single crystals of lithium triborate LiB3O5 (LBO) have been grown by t
he top-seeded solution growth method with B2O3 as a solvent using diff
erent temperature gradients in the zone of crystallization. Optical an
d nonlinear optical properties of LBO single crystals have been invest
igated. The influence of post-growth thermal treatment in oxygen atmos
phere on the optical properties has been studied.
