Crystal growth and luminescence properties of Li2B4O7 single crystals doped with Ce, In, Ni, Cu and Ti ions

Optical spectroscopy of Li2B4O7, CaB4O7 and LiCaBO3 borate glasses doped with europium

“…Borate crystals and glasses, both undoped and doped with rare-earth and transition elements, are very promising materials for nonlinear optics and quantum electronics [1][2][3][4][5][6], scintillators, thermoluminescent dosimeters [7][8][9][10][11], gamma and neutron detectors [12][13][14], and many other applications. This especially applies to single crystals of lithium tetraborate (Li 2 B 4 O 7 ) characterized by extremely high radiation stability [15,16], good thermoluminescent properties [9][10][11] and high transparency in the wide interval beginning from vacuum ultraviolet (UV) to middle infrared (IR) ranges [17].…”

EPR Spectroscopy of the Mn2+and Cu2+Centres in Lithium and Potassium-Lithium Tetraborate Glasses

“…In connection with their attractive properties, the undoped and doped tetraborate compounds are promising materials for different technical applications: scintillators and tissue-equivalent materials for thermoluminescence (TL) dosimetry [3][4][5], γ and neutron detectors [6,7] and others.…”

X-Ray Luminescence of Crystallized Silver, Copper and Manganese-Doped Lithium Tetraborate

“…The most promising from this point of view are the copper, silver and manganese dopants, for which the best photoluminescence characteristic indices were achieved [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] dependent on the criteria of the choice of the dopant type. In the most, such studies have been carried out for the monocrystalline lithium tetraborate--based phosphorus.…”
