Abstract
The phase formation of terbium chromoborate TbCr3(BO3)4 in the bismuth trimolybdate and lithium tungstate melt–solutions has been studied. The absence of the terbium chromoborate trigonal phase in the bismuth trimolybdate-based system at all component ratios has been shown. The component ratio in the lithium tungstate-based system has been found at which the TbCr3(BO3)4 trigonal crystals are formed at temperatures above 1100 °C; below this temperature, the monoclinic phase dominates. The structural and magnetic properties of the grown crystals have been studied. It has been established that the trigonal and monoclinic TbCr3(BO3)4 crystals synthesized from the lithium tungstate-based solvent exhibit identical magnetic properties. At the same time, a significant difference of the magnetic properties of the single crystals synthesized from the bismuth molybdate melt–solution has been observed. This difference has been attributed to the effect of Bi3+ ions that partially replace Tb3+ ions.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
