Abstract:Two deep ultraviolet (DUV) hydroxylated-alkali-metal borates, NaRbB 10 O 14 (OH) 4 (I) and Na 3 CsB 10 O 16 (OH) 2 (II), have been successfully synthesized by a high-temperature solution and solvothermal method. Both of them feature [B 5 O m (OH) n ] units, which form chains for (I) and bilayers with nine-membered boron rings for (II). It is worth noting that both compounds exhibit very wide theoretical band gaps of 7.33 and 6.55 eV for (I) and (II), respectively, which denotes that they should have desirable … Show more
