Four mixed crystal boules of Yb/sup 3+/:Sr/sub 5-x/Ba/sub x/ (PO/sub 4/)/sub 3/F were grown by the Czochralski method with x=0.25: 0.5, 1, and 2. The bandwidth of the 900-nm absorption feature was ...

In this paper, we report a novel and simple molten-salt method, for the first time, to synthesize long single-crystal ferroelectric and photocatalyst material barium dititanate (BaTi2O5) nanobelts ...

Energy harvesting utilizing piezoelectric materials has become an attractive approach for converting mechanical energy into electrical power for low-power electronics. Structural composites are ...

Single-crystal scandium-substituted barium hexaferrite crystals have been characterized and used in the fabrication of miniature monolithic circulators on silicon-glass wafers. The single crystal has ...
