Crystal Growth and Glass-Like Thermal Conductivity of Ca3RE2(BO3)4 (RE = Y, Gd, Nd) Single Crystals

Crystal growth and thermal properties of binary borates, Ca3RE2(BO3)4 (RE = Y, Gd, Nd), are considered promising crystals for laser applications. These single crystals were grown by the Czochralski method. The crystal and defect structure were characterized. Volumetric chemical methods without prior...
