Abstract

This work presents the results of single-crystal growth of Nd³⁺-doped lanthanum aluminum dimetaborates, La_1−xNd_xAl_2.07(B₄O₁₀)O_0.6 (x = 0.03–0.06), from a high-temperature molybdate-based flux. The composition and morphology of the obtained crystals were systematically investigated, and PXRD, EPMA and DSC data are presented. Additionally, the luminescence spectra of Nd³-doped solid solutions were studied, revealing the potential of these materials as laser-active media.
