Abstract
The present invention relates to single crystalline RbUO3, hydrothermal growth processes of making such single crystals and methods of using such single crystals. In particular, Applicants disclose single crystalline RbUO3 single crystalline RbUO3 in the Pm-3m space group. Unlike other powdered RbUO3, Applicants' single crystalline RbUO3 has a sufficient crystal size to be characterized and used in the fields of neutron detection, radiation-hardened electronics, nuclear forensics, nuclear engineering photovoltaics, lasers, light-emitting diodes, photoelectrolysis and magnetic applications.
