FACTS ABOUT - LITHIUM NIOBATE CRYSTAL REVEALED

In 1993 Kuz’minov and Osiko pointed out the ‘disturbance�?of stoichiometry in LN crystals is generally mainly because of the not enough oxygen in Nb2O5, used like a raw material initial melt (Czochralski process) [186]. Accordingly, depending on its output technological know-how, niobium pentoxide can undertake an array of compositions Nb2O5â
