Nonlinear optical properties of orthorhombic barium formate and magnesium barium fluoride

On optical bleaching of barium fluoride crystals

Barium fluoride (Baf2) crystals were considered by the GEM Collaboration, to be used in constructing a precision electromagnetic calorimeter at the SSC [1] . The key issue of using this crystal at the SSC is its radiation resistance [2] . An Expert Panel was assigned by the SSC laboratory to review the radiation damage problem of BaFz. The Panel met in December 1991 and again in January 1992 fo...

Optical bleaching in situ for barium fluoride crystals

This report presents results of optical bleaching for barium fluoride crystals to be used to construct a precision electromagnetic calorimeter at future hadron colliders. A practical technique for in situ bleaching by illuminating crystals with light from a UV lamp through an optical fiber is established. The light attenuation length of current production BaF, crystals can be set to around 200 ...

Barium and Barium Compounds

The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), established in 1980, is a joint venture of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the International Labour Organization (ILO), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The overall objectives of the IPCS are to establish the scientific basis for assessment of the risk to human health and the environment from exposure to chemicals, ...

Dielectric and pyroelectric properties of barium strontium titanate films on orthorhombic substrates with „110... / / „100... epitaxy

The role of anisotropic misfit strains on the spontaneous polarization, dielectric properties, and pyroelectric response of 110 oriented Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 BST 60/40 thin films on 100 orthorhombic substrates is analyzed theoretically. The anisotropic in-plane strain state and the rotation of the elastic and the electrostrictive constants of the BST 60/40 films result in strongly directional and uni...
