Growth of RbTiOPO4 single crystals from phosphate systems

Single crystal growth and physical properties of RbTiOPO4 doped with niobium

“…In Refs. [4,5] higher stability of RTP crystals in comparison with KTP against intensive laser radiation was noted. RTP crystals doped with Nb (RTP:Nb) were obtained and studied in Refs.…”

“…In Ref. [4] orthorhombic RTP phase and high-temperature cubic phase. Perfect RTP crystals were grown in Ref.…”

“…Non-linear optical properties of RTP crystals are close to those of KTP but the first are more preferable in some practical applications due to lower electrical conductivity. In the last time a number of investigations concerning with the RTP crystal growth and the study of their properties have been published [4,5]. In Ref.…”

Investigations on the Nucleation Thermodynamics of RbTiOXO4 (X = P or As) Crystals Grown from High Temperature Solution

“…There are few reports available on the solubility studies of RTP and RTA crystals grown from self-fluxes (phosphate and arsenate) (OSELEDCHIK et al;CHENG et al(1994). ; HAN et al) and tungstate flux (CHENG et al(1991)).…”

“…Due to these excellent characteristics, many researches are being concentrated in the growth and device fabrication of these family crystals. Though these crystals are grown by both hydrothermal and high temperature solution growth technique using self-flux (OSELEDCHIK et al;CHENG et al (1994);HAN et al;BOLT et al) and/or tungstate solvents (CHENG et al(1991)), the latter method has been followed by many workers due to its added advantages like faster growth rate and the absence of OH ions into the grown crystal lattices. It is well known that in tungstate and molybdate fluxes, which are less viscous, faster dissolution kinetics and low temperature solvents make crystal growth easy.…”
