Abstract
TbAl3(BO3)4 should not be considered as a strictly stoichiometric compound. A variety of Tb1+xAl3-x(BO3)4 (x= -0.1 – 0.15) single phase compositions with R32 space group were synthesized in the TbBO3-(Al2O3·B2O3) system. The K2Mo3O10-B2O3-Tb2O3 flux was used to grow Tb1+xAl3-x(BO3)4 (x= 0.06 and 0.09) crystals. The orthoborates have typical luminescence in the green range which correlated to 5D3→7F6 electron transition of Tb3+. However, deviating from stoichiometry can result in halving the quantum efficiency of luminescence. The SHG efficiency from 1064 nm radiation for Tb1+xAl3-x(BO3)4 crystals (x= 0.06 and 0.09) was found to be 1.82 and 1.53 times higher than that of KDP, respectively.
