Synthesis, growth and characterization of new borate-mixed crystals of type (NH4)1-xKxB5O8.
New borate-mixed crystals of type (NH4)1-x KxB5O8 were grown from aqueous solution by slow solvent evaporation method. The mixed crystals were confirmed by atomic absorption studies (AAS) and characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman), optical absorption and solubility studies. The second harmonic generation efficiencies of the parent and mixed crystals were studied and compared with that of KDP.
