A novel birefrmgent a-BaB2O4 crystal with 40mm in diameter, 35mm in height has been grown successfully in our laboratory by Czochralski method. The proportion of B203 and BaO of starting material, crystal cracking and the transmission spectrum of a-BaB2O4 crystal have been briefly analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
