Schirmer and provides a new synopsis of his research focusing on LiNbO3. It also includes recent developments, exemplifying the continued interest in this outstanding ferroelectric, non-linear optical and holographic crystal as a workhorse for testing and realizing new ideas and applications.This book starts with reviews on intrinsic and extrinsic crystal defects in LiNbO3 of single-crystal, thin-film or nano-powder forms, studied by various optical, magnetic resonance and nuclear methods, clarifying in particular the reasons for the suppression of anion vacancy formation upon thermal reduction, mechano-chemical processing or irradiations of various types. The reviews are followed by research papers on the experimental and theoretical investigation of small polarons, together with recent results on the properties of Li(Nb,Ta)O3 mixed crystals. Among the various contributions dealing with nonlinear optical applications, papers on device development, entangled photon pair generation and thin films on the Lithium Niobate On Insulator (LNOI) platform can also be found.New Trends in Lithium Niobate Research & information: generalbicssclithium niobatesmall polaron hoppingtransient absorptionmode-locked lasernonlinear mirror mode lockinglithium tantalatecrystal structurechemical compositionferroelectricssecond harmonic generationlead-free piezoelectricsintrinsic defectsextrinsic defectselemental dopingferromagnetismdiluted-magnetic oxidesLiNbO3LiTaO3oxide crystalslanthanidesluminescenceLNOIferroelectric domainsdomain-wall conductionAFMthin film lithium niobateTFLNx-cut LNdomain wallspiezoresponse force microscopysecond-harmonic generationRaman scatteringelectro-opticswhispering gallery resonatorspolaronsphotorefractivityMarcus-Holstein’s theoryMonte Carlo simulationsstrontium titanateself-trapped electronsoxygen vacanciesdefectsimpurityintrinsic defectparamagnetic ionelectron paramagnetic resonanceelectron nuclear double resonancelithium vacancylithiumniobateepitaxythin filmliquid phase epitaxymolecular beam epitaxysputteringpulsed laser depositionchemical vapor depositionlithium niobate-tantalatepiezoelectricacoustichigh-temperaturesensorQ-factorBAW resonatorparametric down-conversionphoton-pair generationextended phase matchingmicroring resonatorvarFDTDlithium tantalate thin filmelectro-optical deviceslattice locationradiation damageion beam analysishyperfine interactionscharge localizationlattice deformationoptical responsedensity-functional theoryBethe-Salpeter equationnanoparticlesnanopowdersX-ray diffractionRaman spectroscopytemperature dependence of electroconductivitybipolaronsdefect structure and generationLi diffusionbulk crystalsthin filmsnanocrystalsResearch & information: generalCorradi Gáboredt1318575Kovács LászlóedtCorradi GáborothKovács LászlóothBOOK9910557609903321New Trends in Lithium Niobate3033419UNINA
