Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the subject high-quality beta-BaB2O4 single crystal having a crystal habit such as a definite external form in a good yield by using NaCl as a flux, growing the above-mentioned single crystal at a temperature of <=phase transition point of BaB2O4 single crystal. CONSTITUTION:BaCl2 is blended with NaBO2.2H2O. The resultant mixture is put in a platinum crucible and heated at a temperature of <= phase transition point of BaB2O4.2H2O single crystal, i.e., 925 deg.C to derive a reaction represented by the formula for synthesis of beta-BaB2O4 and simultaneously for formation of NaCl. A seed crystal is then inserted therein at about 850 deg.C and the temperature is gradually lowered to obtain a beta-BaB2O4 single crystal having a crystal habit such as a hexagonal prism and showing characteristics of a trigonal system. A large single crystal of beta-BaB2O4 can be grown from a small amount of a fused liquid thereby and the resultant beta-BaB2O4 single crystal is useful as a crystal for converting laser in an infrared region to the shorter wavelength side.
