Microstructure and evolution of barium fluorozirconate crystal in a ZrF sub 4 -BaF sub 2 -LaF sub 3 -AlF sub 3 -NaF glass

The crystal is a complex structure consisting of 5 coexisting Ba fluorozirconate phases. In the initial very low birefringent crystal, the principal phase is beta -ZrF sub 4 multiplied by BaF sub 2 . Later crystal growth on top of the initial crystal is beta -2ZrF sub 4 multiplied by BaF sub 2 . A s...

Description
Summary:The crystal is a complex structure consisting of 5 coexisting Ba fluorozirconate phases. In the initial very low birefringent crystal, the principal phase is beta -ZrF sub 4 multiplied by BaF sub 2 . Later crystal growth on top of the initial crystal is beta -2ZrF sub 4 multiplied by BaF sub 2 . A strong scattering center at the center of some crystals is elemental Pt.
