研究目的
To develop a new deep-ultraviolet birefringent material using the B2O5 functional gene via synergistic combination of Li4B2O5 and Na4B2O5, aiming to achieve enhanced optical properties such as large birefringence, short DUV cutoff edge, high laser damage threshold, and favorable thermal expansion.
研究成果
Li2Na2B2O5 is an excellent DUV birefringent crystal with large birefringence, short cutoff edge, high LDT, favorable thermal expansion, and low growth temperature. The B2O5 unit is a promising functional gene for designing such materials, and synergistic combination is an effective strategy. This work advances DUV optical technology and suggests further investigations for device applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to the specific compound Li2Na2B2O5 and its comparison with related borates. The crystal growth process may have scalability issues, and the birefringence measurements are confined to certain wavelengths. Future work could explore other B2O5-based materials and improve crystal quality for higher LDT.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed synergistic combination strategy to design a new compound. Polycrystalline samples were synthesized via solid-state reaction, and single crystals were grown using the top seeded solution growth (TSSG) method. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) with CASTEP package were performed to predict optical properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Precursors included Li2CO3, Na2CO3, and H3BO3 from Aladdin. Crystal structure data were obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included aurum crucibles, programmable temperature electric furnace, NETZSCH STA 449C thermal analyzer, Bruker D2 PHASER diffractometer, Bruker SMART APEX II CCD diffractometer, Metricon model 2010/M prism coupler, Shimadzu SolidSpec-3700DUV spectrophotometer, Dandong YX-2 X-ray orientator, and Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Materials were Li2CO3 (Aladdin, 99.5%), Na2CO3 (Aladdin, 99.5%), H3BO3 (Aladdin, 99.8%).
4:5%), Na2CO3 (Aladdin, 5%), H3BO3 (Aladdin, 8%). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Polycrystalline synthesis involved heating mixtures to 550°C for 72h. Crystal growth used TSSG with a cooling rate of 0.2°C/d. Thermal analysis was conducted with TG-DSC. Refractive indices were measured at specific wavelengths. UV-Vis-NIR transmission spectra and laser-induced damage tests were performed.
5:2h. Crystal growth used TSSG with a cooling rate of 2°C/d. Thermal analysis was conducted with TG-DSC. Refractive indices were measured at specific wavelengths. UV-Vis-NIR transmission spectra and laser-induced damage tests were performed. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: XRD data were integrated with SAINT and refined with SHELXTL. Refractive indices were fitted to Sellmeier equations. DFT calculations used PBE functional with GGA and NCP pseudopotentials.
