[High temperature Raman spectra and micro-structure study of lithium metaborate and its melt]

Lithium metaborate (LiBO2) is studied by high temperature Raman spectroscopy from room temperature up to 1,673 K, and spectra drawing in different temperature are got. By analyzing, it focus on the phase transition, it is that the endless chains of BO3 triangles transform into rings of (B3O6)3- at about 1,123 K, and then the different kind of phase balance's motion occurs after 1,273 K which implies that both endless chain and ring have changed to CRN. In the drawing, the variation of peak's area rate implies the micro-structure information, and shows the process from order to disorder.
