摘要
Centimeter-sized optical quality plate-like PbB4O7 crystals have been grown by Czochralski method. The fundamental absorption edge has been found at 237 nm (corresponding bandgap 5.75 eV) with the distinct sideband protruding up to 300 nm. The crystals are well faceted with the (100), (010) and (101) planes, (100) surfaces being mostly developed. The etching in diluted nitric acid (5 wt.%) at the temperature of 90 degrees C have been used to reveal the defect structure and remove melt residuals. The (100) surface shows the presence of etching pits and twin boundaries. The Kikuchi line pattern and developed microrelief with the roughness of similar to 8 nm have been observed by RHEED and AFM, respectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier. B.V. All rights reserved.
