Crystals listed in the JCPDS card in BaO-B₂O₃-Al₂O₃ and BaO-B₂O₃-Ga₂O₃ systems were synthesized by means of a solid-state reaction method and a liquid-state reaction method. Synthesized crystals were characterized from a viewpoint of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and crystal growth possibility. Ba₅Al₄B₁₂O₂₉ and Ba₅Ga₄B₁₂O₂₉ are promising new candidate crystals from the viewpoint of SHG activity and congruent melting behavior.
