“…[6]. On the other hand, the data of this work agree with the result on kinetics of YAB bulk crystal growth from K 2 Mo 3 O 10 based high-temperature solutions [8]. In this case, the normal growth rate of Yb:YAB films is also characterised on the whole by linear dependence on supercooling (supersaturation) of the fluxed melt (Fig.…”

“…Crystal sections chosen for laser application must be defect-free and twin-free, and of a size greater than 3 Â 3 Â 3 mm. There have been many studies of the growth and physical properties of these crystals (Azizov & Leonyuk, 1981;Kumar et al, 1990;Lederer et al, 2002;Leonyuk et al, 2004;Li et al, 2004a,b;Wang et al, 2000;Zhao, Wang, Sun, Hu, Li et al, 2001;Zhao et al, 2003). Some of these studies mention crystal morphology, but the morphology and surface properties of Yb:YAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 (and the other members of its family) still lack detailed studies.…”

Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 is a good self‐frequency‐doubling crystal with the point group 32. In this paper, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to observe the etch figures of the three forms (positive trigonal prism {110}, negative trigonal prism {20} and rhombohedron {101}) on the crystal morphology of Yb:YAl3(BO3)4. The etch figures display the point group 32 of the Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 crystal. To compare the morphology and etch figures of Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 with those of quartz, the classic crystal of point group 32, the etch figures of the three forms (hexagonal prism {100}, positive rhombohedron {101} and negative rhombohedron {011}) on quartz were also observed using AFM. It is interesting that Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 develops two prismatic forms (related by a positive–negative relationship) and one rhombohedral form, while quartz develops one prismatic form and two rhombohedral forms (also related by a positive–negative relationship). Etch figures of faces or sections with the same indices (or the same crystallographic orientations) in Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 and quartz are very similar, although their crystal structures are very different. Besides diffraction methods, etch figures are a useful method for determining the point group of a crystal.
