Lithium niobate
Lithium niobate (O3) is a compound of
niobium
,
lithium
, and
oxygen
. It is a colorless solid that is insoluble in water. Its melting point is 1257 °C and its density is 4.65 g/cm³. Its
CAS number
is .Lithium niobate crystals have a
trigonal
crystal system
and belongs to the 3m (C3v)
crystallographic point group
. Its crystal structure lacks
inversion symmetry
and displays
ferroelectricity
, the
Pockels effect
, the
piezoelectric
effect,
photoelasticity
, and
nonlinear optical
polarizability. Lithium niobate is has negative uniaxial
birefringence
which depends slightly on the stoichiometry of the crystal and on temperature. It is transparent for wavelengths between 350 and 5200
nanometers
, and has a
bandgap
of around 4
eV
.
