A large LiBaB9O15single crystal has been grown by the top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method using a Li2Mo3O10flux system. The crystal obtained exhibits (110), (113) and (102) faces. For the first time, thermal properties of the as-grown crystal, including thermal expansion, specific heat and thermal conductivity, have been investigated as a function of temperature. The specific heat of the LiBaB9O15crystal was measured to be 0.663–1.110Jg−1K−1over the temperature range of 20–400°C. The crystal exhibits thermal expansion along the a- and b-axis, coupled with thermal contraction along the c-axis, over the measured temperature range of 25–500°C. The average thermal expansion coefficients along the a- and c-axis of the LiBaB9O15crystal from 25 to 500°C are calculated to be αa=6.56×10−6K−1and αc=−4.82×10−6K−1, respectively.
