“…Some borate crystals are deliquescent in moist environments, such as BaB 2 O 4 (BBO) and CsB 3 O 5 (CBO) . Deliquescence will severely limit the application of optical crystals, so it is necessary to explore the chemical stability of Bi 3 TeBO 9 .…”

“…Some borate crystals are deliquescent in moist environments, such as BaB 2 O 4 (BBO) and CsB 3 O 5 (CBO). 35 Deliquescence will severely limit the application of optical crystals, so it is necessary to explore the chemical stability of Bi 3 TeBO 9 . As shown in Figure S2, after immersing in distilled water and dilute nitric acid (34.0 wt %) for 72 h, the Bi 3 TeBO 9 crystal still maintained good transparency and had no weight loss, which means that the Bi 3 TeBO 9 crystal has good deliquescence and corrosion resistance.…”

Mid-infrared (mid-IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals are key materials in the field of laser technology. Nevertheless, the applications of these significant optical materials are always limited by their low laser damage threshold (LDT). Here, an oxide mid-IR NLO crystal, Bi3TeBO9, with a large LDT was discovered. The centimeter-sized Bi3TeBO9 single crystal was successfully grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. The Bi3TeBO9 features a high LDT of 450 MW/cm2 (∼15 × AgGaS2) and the widest transparent range (0.35–7.10 μm) among known borate crystals. The second-harmonic generation (SHG) effect is about 1.6 times that of KDP. First-principles calculations and structural analysis show that the optical characteristics of Bi3TeBO9 are mainly affected by distorted [BiO6] groups. Furthermore, its thermal characteristics including specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion were also measured.

“…All the PSAT glasses showed excitation peaks at 445, 473, and 484 nm due to the 4f-4f transitions ( 3 H 4 → 3 P 2 , 3 H 4 → 3 P 1 , and 3 H 4 → 3 P 0 , respectively) of Pr 3+ . (26)(27)(28)(29)(30) Moreover, the QY values of the PSAT glasses were 26% (0.1PSAT), 17% (0.5PSAT), and 8% (1.0PSAT), as listed in Table 3, and the QY values decreased with increasing Pr 2 O 3 concentration, probably because of concentration quenching.…”

We fabricated Pr 3+ -activated glasses having a composition of 10SrO-5Al 2 O 3 -85TeO 2 (PSAT) for potential use as radiation detectors, and their photoluminescence (PL) and X-ray-induced scintillation properties were then characterized. The PSAT glasses showed several emission peaks in their PL spectra owing to the 4f-4f transitions of Pr 3+ . Furthermore, they exhibited typical PL decay times (0.09-0.86 ms), where the decay originated from the 4f-4f transitions of Pr 3+ . In the scintillation spectra of the PSAT glasses, three peaks at approximately 480, 618, and 636 nm were observed. The scintillation decay times were 0.747-0.840 ms, corresponding to the 4f-4f transitions of Pr 3+ . Furthermore, the PSAT glasses showed afterglow levels of 352-521 ppm, and the lowest afterglow level (352 ppm) was comparable to that of Tl-activated CsI single crystal.
