Etymology

Origin of niobate

First recorded in 1835–45; niob(ium) + -ate ²

Example Sentences

Its nonlinear optical response was 20 times greater than that of lithium niobate, the leading nonlinear optical material, and nearly triple that of barium titanate, the previous cryogenic benchmark.

From Science Daily

For example, while lithium niobate is one of the most nonlinear phononic materials known, its usefulness for technical applications is hindered by the fact that those nonlinearities are very weak when used on its own.

From Science Daily

Under these high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, the rubidium niobate underwent a structural transformation from a complex triclinic phase at ambient pressure phase into a 26 % denser orthorhombic perovskite-type structure.

From Science Daily

"The high-pressure phase obtained this time confirmed the presence of a polar structure from the observation of second harmonic generation of the same strength as potassium niobate, and a relatively high relative permittivity was also obtained. As for the dielectric constant, it is expected that values equal to or greater than those of potassium niobate can be obtained by increasing the sample density, as predicted from theoretical calculations," says Prof. Yamamoto.

The team's research findings were published in the scientific journal Nature titled "Integrated Lithium Niobate Microwave Photonic Processing Engine."
