Am. Luginets et al., THE INFLUENCE OF GROWTH-CONDITIONS ON THE OPTICAL-PROPERTIES OF BARIUM BETABORATE SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Journal of crystal growth, 162(1-2), 1996, pp. 89-94
High-temperature fluxed melt crystal growth in the Na2O-B2O3-BaO syste
m has been investigated. The width of concentration and temperature ra
nges of crystallization of the barium betaborate phase has been determ
ined. beta-BaB2O4 single crystals were grown by the top-seeded solutio
n growth method. An attempt is made to establish a correlation between
the fluxed melt composition and the nonlinear properties of the beta-
BaB2O4 single crystals at constant parameters of crystallization.
