Phase formation in Li2O–Rb2O–B2O3 system and investigation of crystal structure of rubidium lithium borate RbLiB6O10·nH2O

Abstract RbLiB 6 O 10 (RLBO) single crystals were obtained from a flux by TSSG method and the phases were defined by X-ray powder diffraction method. Crystal structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal has an orthorhombic elementary cell, and the lattice parameters are determined, noncentrosymmetrical space group Fdd2.
