Potassium niobate (KNbO3) is an inorganic compound with the formula KNbO3. A colorless solid, it is classified as a perovskite ferroelectric material.[2] It exhibits nonlinear optical properties, and is a component of some lasers.[3] Nanowires of potassium niobate have been used to produce tunable coherent light.

Structure

On cooling from high temperature, KNbO3 undergoes a series of structural phase transitions. At 435 °C, the crystal symmetry changes from cubic centrosymmetric (Pm3m) to tetragonal non-centrosymmetric (P4mm). On further cooling, at 225 °C the crystal symmetry changes from tetragonal (P4mm) to orthorhombic (Amm2) and at −50 °C from orthorhombic (Amm2) to rhombohedral (R3m).

Crystal structure of Potassium Niobate

Applications and research

In addition to research in electronic memory storage,[4] potassium niobate is used in resonant doubling.[5] This technique allows small infrared lasers to convert output into blue light, a critical technology for the production of blue lasers and technology dependent upon them.

Potassium niobate has been found useful in many different areas of materials science,[4] including properties of lasers,[5] quantum teleportation,[6] and it has been used to study the optical properties of particulate composite materials.[7]

Safety

The LD50 for potassium niobate is 3000 mg/kg (oral, rat).
