Observation of unusual temperature-dependent stripes in LiTaO3 and LiTa (x) Nb1-x O-3 crystals with near-zero birefringence
A birefringence imaging microscopy study of LiTaO3 and some mixed LiTa x Nb1-x O3 crystals is reported. The initially congruent LiTaO3 crystals have been subject to vapour transport equilibration in order to increase the Li content and at the same time to reduce the optical birefringence close to ze...
