Structural and thermal stability of Czochralski grown GdCOB oxoborate single crystals

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Properties such as chemical and structural stability, thermal expansion and thermal conductivity are investigated, with the purpose of better characterizing the behaviour of Czochralski grown GdCOB [Ca4GdO(BO3)3], oxoborate single crystals, to be used in optical devices.
