Abstract

The article presents the results of many years of studies of the growth of a low-temperature modification of barium borate b-BaB₂O₄ (R₃с) crystals in the Na, Ba, B // O, F quaternary reciprocal system. Barium borate b-BaB₂O₄ is the most important nonlinear optical crystal of the UV spectrum. The key factor determining the quality of crystals is the choice of an optimal solvent. The article presents phase diagrams and the results of the growth of b-BaB₂O₄ crystals in several subsystems of the studied quaternary reciprocal system. Using atomistic modeling, we predicted and then experimentally obtained new high-pressure modifications: g-BaB₂O₄ (P₂1/n), whose structure includes edge-sharing tetrahedra, and d-BaB₂O₄ with assumed symmetry Pa₃. In our study, we also focused on a solid solution with an “antizeolite” structure, which also crystallizes in the Na, Ba, B // O, F system.
