Synthesis and characterization of Cs₂Zn₄V₄O₁₅—a new vanadate in the Cs–Zn–V–O quaternary system

Abstract

A novel congruent melting compound Cs2Zn4V4O15 has been synthesized by conventional high-temperature solid-state reactions. The crystal crystallizes in the monoclinic system, C2/c (No. 15) space group, with a = 15.724(4)...

Vanadate Crystals with an Enhanced Birefringence and a Broadened Transparency Spectrum through Controlled [VO3]∞ Chain Arrangements and Alkali Metal Cation Introduction

“…With exhaustive research (Figure ), LNCV has the shortest cutoff edge among vanadates with a large birefringence (>0.1@546 nm). − It is also recognized that the [VO 3 ] ∞ chains in LNCV are the primary origin of the large birefringence based on previous investigations . However, the birefringence of LBV with the [VO 3 ] ∞ chains is only 0.080.…”

Synthesis, structures and properties of two new selenite optical materials: K2Zn3Se4O12 and K4Zn3V4Se2O19

“…42 In terms of the Kubelka–Munk equation, F ( R ) = (1 − R ) 2 /2 R ( R = reflectance), the absorbance data were converted from reflectance data. 43–45…”
