An excellent deep-ultraviolet birefringent material based on [BO2]∞ infinite chains by Fangfang Zhang, Xinglong Chen, Min Zhang, Wenqi Jin, Shujuan Han, Zhihua Yang, Shilie Pan

“…In this work, we developed a new DUV birefringent crystal LiBO2 based on [BO2]∞ infinite chains in the Li-B-O system, which simultaneously achieves the shortest UV cutoff edge (164 nm) and the largest birefringence (≥0.168 at 266 nm) among all the reported borate-based DUV birefringent materials. Single crystals of LiBO2 with dimensions up to Ø55 × 34 mm3 were grown by the Czochralski method, providing access to large-sized single crystal with low cost. …”

The Corrosion Behavior in Different Environments of Austenitic Stainless Steels Subjected to Thermochemical Surface Treatments at Low Temperatures: An Overview by Francesca Borgioli

“…In particular, the corrosion behavior in both chloride-ion-containing solutions and chloride-free solutions (sulfuric acid, sulfate and borate solutions) is discussed. The analysis of the international literature presents evidence that the microstructure and phase composition of the modified layers have key roles in corrosion resistance, especially in sulfuric acid solutions.…”
