Phase formation of LiB3O5 and other lithium borates in the multicomponent system NaF–B2O3–Li2O–MoO3
The phase equilibria in the LiB3O5–NaF–Li2Mo4O13 and LiB3O5–NaF–Li4Mo5O17 systems were studied. The presence of NaF results in an increase in the viscosity of borate systems that contain LiB3O5. The weight yield percentage of LiB3O5 can reach up to 60%.

Floating zone growth of high-purity MgO substrate single crystals
High-purity MgO substrate crystals grown by the optical floating zone technique are demonstrated, which can serve as a foundation for the development of novel device concepts based on epitaxially grown thin films.

In these two simulations of mefenamic acid, you can see the striking difference:
Without a screw dislocation → The crystal grows as a thin needle.
With a screw dislocation → Growth is more blocky and structured.
