Synthesis, crystal structure, and characterization of DyMgB5O10: thermal behavior, band gap calculation, and luminescence
Abstract A new member of the rare-earth magnesium pentaborate family, DyMgB5O10, was synthesized via solid-state reaction followed by flux growth in a K2Mo3O10 melt. Single crystals up to 0.5 mm were obtained and characterized by SEM, EDX, DSC, and XRD techniques. The crystal structure was refined in the monoclinic spa...
