Abstract
Lithium borates are promising materials for thermal neutron detection. However, a strong tendency of borates for glass transformation can lower the detection efficiency of some luminescence centres. Here, we describe the synthesis of well-crystalline translucent borate ceramics. The precursor powder of undoped LiSr4(BO3)3 was prepared using a wet homogenization method and then densified to ceramic pellets at different sintering temperatures using SPS. As the sintering temperature increased, the degree of densification and crystallite connectivity improved, rendering the prepared pellets translucent.
