Bridgman growth of bismuth tellurite crystals

BRIDGMAN GROWTH AND PROPERTIES OF LuAlO3-Nd3+ LASER CRYSTALS

The solidification behavior of LuA103 melts in Bridgman geometry is presentedThe contribution of different growth parameters to crystallization of single phase LuA10, are studied. Growth scheme for L U A ~ O ~ N ~ ~ + crystals possessing improved laser properties is described. LuA103 (space group ~:E-~bnm) is the end member of the rhombic rareearth group (LnA103, where Ln = Y or Ln ion between ...

Optical Properties of Bismuth Tellurite Based Glass

A series of binary tellurite based glasses (Bi(2)O(3))(x) (TeO(2))(100-) (x) was prepared by melt quenching method. The density, molar volume and refractive index increase when bismuth ions Bi(3+) increase, this is due to the increased polarization of the ions Bi(3+) and the enhanced formation of non-bridging oxygen (NBO). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results show the bond...

Bismuth Flux Growth of CeRh6Ge4 and CeRh2Ge2 Single Crystals

Single crystals of the germanides CeRh6Ge4 and CeRh2Ge2 were synthesized from the elements in bismuth fluxes. Polycrystalline samples are available by arc-melting. The structures were refined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data. CeRh6Ge4: LiCo6P4 type, P6m2, a = 715.4(2), c = 385.5(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0554, 273 F2 values, 19 variables; CeRh2Ge2: ThCr2Si2 type, I4/mmm, a = 415.69...

Epitaxial growth of silver chloride crystals on bismuth oxychloride.

In this work, studies of morphological and structural characteristics of BiOCl/AgX heterostructures (X = Cl, I) synthesized using ion-exchange reactions have been conducted. It was found that silver chloride (AgCl) crystals precipitating on the surface of bismuth oxychloride crystals show orientation ordering with the (001)BiOCl||(100)AgCl crystallographic relationship. Using two synthesis rout...
