Some aspects of lithium–boron melts structuring

Peculiarities of LiB3O5 crystallization from melts studied by Raman spectroscopy

“…Fragments of high-quality single crystals of LBO grown using high-purity Li 2 CO 3 and B 2 O 3 , as well as MoO 3 , as a flux [4] were starting samples in our study. To provide high-temperature in situ spectrometry analysis, a small resistance furnace was used with a heating element of platinum-rhodium alloy wire.…”

In situ Raman investigation of a LiB3O5melt toward understanding the structural memory phenomena

“…The knowledge of LiB 3 O 5 melt structures is believed to be the key to understand the special structural memory phenomena. In the past few years, several studies have been devoted to investigating LiB 3 O 5 melt structures; [5][6][7][8][9] however, the details of the melt structures remain unclear or debatable.…”
