Exploration of structural, thermal and vibrational properties of new noncentrosymmetric double borate Rb3Tm2B3O9

Growth and characterization of Na3R(BO3)2 (R = La–Gd) borates: crystal structure, high-temperature behavior, and optical properties

“…12–21 One of the most significant families of such compounds are represented by alkaline borates and REE-containing alkaline borates. 22–29…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] One of the most significant families of such compounds are represented by alkaline borates and REE-containing alkaline borates. [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Nowadays lithium-, sodium-, and potassium-containing borates with REE ions attract increasing attention due to their low cost, low formation reaction temperature, excellent optical properties, and considerably high physicochemical stability. In addition, such borates can withstand the harsh exposure conditions of ultraviolet radiation.…”

Synthesis, crystal structure, and thermal stability of double borate Na3ErB2O6

“…Borates are considered to be attractive functional materials for non-linear optic and luminescence due to their wide variety of crystal structures, low synthesis temperature, and environmental benignity [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Today commercially used nonlinear optical crystals of borates with superior optical properties are β-BaB2O4 [14] and LiB3O5 [15].…”
