Characteristics of neodymium modified borate crystals and glasses grown via polycrystalline seed mediation

A series of glass samples with composition (90−x)Li2B4O7+10Nb2O5+xNd2O3, where x = 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 mol% were prepared by the melt-quenching technique. For polycrystal seed preparation as well as crystal growth process, 1 mol% of Nd2O3 was chosen. Nd2O3 was used as a modifier to investigate the...
