LEAlB14(orthorhombic, Imam) (LE=Li, Mg) crystals were grown using metal salts (Li2CO3, LiF, LiI, MgO, MgF2, MgI2) and crystalline boron from a high-temperature aluminium metal flux. The growth conditions for growing LEAlB14were established using the starting mixtures of B/LE=2.0, and Al metal was added to each mixture at a mass ratio of 1:15–20. LEAlB14crystals from the Al-self flux using metal salts could be obtained from all the different salts. The maximum dimensions of LiAlB14and MgAlB14crystals were approximately 18 and 12mm for the crystals obtained from LiF and MgF2. The unit-cell parameters of as-grown LEAlB14are as follows: for LiAlB14, obtained from LiF, a=0.5846 (2) nm, b=0.8144 (2) nm, c=1.0355 (3) nm, V=0.4930 (2) nm3: for MgAlB14, obtained from MgF2, a=0.5845 (2) nm, b=0.8114 (2) nm, c=1.0330 (3) nm, V=0.4899 (3) nm3. Microhardness, oxidation resistance and magnetic susceptibility of these materials are described in detail.
