Preparation of TbBO₃ Powder and Growth of TbBO₃ Crystal

Abstract:

Triclinic and hexagonal structure of TbBO₃ was synthesized by Sol-Gel combustion method and high temperature solid state method respectively. The TbBO₃ crystal was grown by fluxing Czochralski(CZ) method and LiBO₂ as flux. The crystal structure was studied by FT-IR and DTA. The results of powder magnetic susceptibility of hexagonal one showed that TbBO₃ may be a good candidate magneto optical material.
