Abstract
Anisotropy of microhardness in lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7) single crystal s has been studied by the sclerometry method on the (001) and (00(1) over b ar) polar faces. The anisotropy of microhardness is interpreted in terms of anisotropy of bonding in the crystal and the position of the cleavage plan es with respect to a moving indenter.
