Laser operated borate polymer nanocomposites

Physical properties of the nonlinear optical material Li2B4O7 studied by static NMR and MAS NMR

“…Borate crystals such as Li 2 B 4 O 7 , LiCsB 6 O 10 , LiB 3 O 5 , and BaB 2 O 4 have received a great deal of attention with regard to the generation of UV light using wavelength conversion, given their excellent NLO properties in the UV region [1][2][3]. Among the NLO crystals, Li 2 B 4 O 7 crystals possess good acousto-optical and physical properties, with a corresponding wide variety of possible applications [4][5][6]. The structure of Li 2 B 4 O 7 crystals has been the focus of several studies [7][8][9][10][11].…”
