Growth of birefringent Ca3(BO3)2 crystals by the Czochralski method

CdB10O14(OH)4·H2O with an unprecedented decaborate fundamental building block

“…So the refractive index of n x , n y , and n z are 1.38, 1.37 and 1.35 at the wavelength of 1064 nm, respectively. The results are in good agreement with the reported ones of other borates (1.43-1.75) [41][42][43][44].…”

Synthesis, crystal structure, spectrum properties, and electronic structure of a novel non-centrosymmetric borate, BiCd3(AlO)3(BO3)4

“…The knowledge of both real and imaginary parts of the frequency dependent dielectric function allows the calculations of the dispersion curves of refractive index by the relation of n 2 (o)¼ e(o)¼e 1 (o)+ie 2 (o).Based on the n(o) curves, the refractive indexes of n x , n y and n z were found to be 1.715, 1.715 and 1.703 at the wavelength of 1064 nm, respectively. Although the refractive indices of BiCd 3 (AlO) 3 (BO 3 )4 have not been measured, our calculated results are reasonable when compared with the observed values of other borates which are generally in the range 1.43-1.75[45][46][47][48].…”

Synthesis and characterization of a new quaternary borate Na2Cs2Sr(B9O15)2 with the unprecedented [B9O19]11− group, notation of 3 × (3:2Δ + T)

“…The dispersion curves of refractive index are also calculated by the relation of n 2 = e. The refractive indexes of n x , n y and n z are 1.225, 1.234 and 1.238 at the wavelength of 1064 nm, respectively. These refractive indexes derived from dielectric constant are underestimated by about 20% when compared with the observed values of other borates which are generally in the range 1.43-1.75[47][48][49][50].…”
