Abstract

High-quality single crystals of the high-temperature phase of barium metaborate (α-BaB2O4) up to 100–120 g in weight are grown from a flux in the ternary system BaO-B2O3-Na2O. The growth temperature is below the α → β phase transition temperature. The conditions necessary for growing α-BaB2O4 crystals under metastable conditions are determined and the morphology and optical quality of the crystals grown are investigated.
