Crystal and Glass Growth in BaO-B2O3-Al2O3 System by Floating Zone Pulling Down Method

Crystal and glass phase forming region in BaO-B2O3-Al2O3 system was investigated by floating zone pulling down method. The formed phase of the crystal and the glass were dependent on the composition and the growth procedures. The crystal and the glass were characterized from the viewpoint of the second harmonic generation (SHG). Weak SHG was observed at the composition of 5 mol% Al2O3 even on the glass. SHG profile as well as the β -BaB2O4 crystal was observed for the crystals grown from melt surrounding the BaB2O4 composition.

Keywords: BaB2O4, Al and Ga substitution, Pt tube and wire, Second harmonic generation
