Growth and Characterization of Pure and Yb- Doped Bismuth Zinc Oxyborate (Bi2ZnOB2O6)
Abstract: The polycrystalline powder samples of pure and Yb (5 mol %) doped Bi2ZnOB2O6 (BZOB) in the ternary system Bi2O-ZnO-2H3BO3 were synthesized by solid state reaction method. These samples were subjected to single crystal growth using handmade Czochralski growth apparatus. Powder samples were subjected to powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to confirm crystalline phase and study crystal structure, Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) spectral analysis to identify the chemical bonding and molecular structure of the materials. The melting behaviors of pure and doped BZOB crystals were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA). The SHG study shows that the SHG effect has been enhanced by Yb doping. The improvement in the SHG by Yb doping may make the material BZOB prominent of scientific interest for potential application in self frequency doubling laser devices.
