Abstract:Germanate is garnering increasing attention in the field of optoelectronics owing to its competitive optical transparency and robust stability. Herein, a novel lithium-rich rare-earth germanate, Li 13 YGe 4 O 16 , was fabricated for the first time using a high-temperature solution approach. This compound adopts the asymmetric space group Cmc2 1 (no. 36), characterized by isolated [YO 6 ] and [GeO 4 ] structural motifs with Li + cations located in the channel. Notably, Li 13 YGe 4 O 16 presents a short ultravio… Show more
