Abstract

Highly oriented rod-shaped crystals were grown during crystallization of bulk amorphous Li2B4O7 under a low ac electric field of ∼5V∕mm. The crystal c axis that is the long direction of rods and perpendicular to the flat surface of the sample is parallel to the applied electric-field direction. The oriented crystals, with an alignment within a declined angle of ∼15°, are so long along the c direction compared with those of other directions that the geometrical structure of each rod is quasi-one-dimensional. The measured electromechanical coupling coefficient of kt=0.47 is comparable to that of single-crystal Li2B4O7.
