Yb 3+ -doped YMgB 5 O 10 (Yb:YMB) crystals with better crystalline quality were grown successfully using the optimized flux of Li 2 O-B 2 O 3 -LiF instead of the traditional K 2 O 3 -MoO 3 flux by the top-seeded solution growth method. The systematic investigation of the crystal growth, structure ch...
