“…[4] At the same time, hydroxyl groups play an important role in the creation of holographic and photonic devices, planar waveguides based on LN. [5,6] Close packing of oxygen atoms serves as the basis of the structure of the LN ferroelectric phase (R3c). This allows to introduce dopants with different charge states (Mg 2þ , Zn 2þ , Er 3þ , etc.…”
