LiTaO3 shows enhanced chemical stability compared to LN by replacing Nb atoms with Ta atoms, and has a wider bandgap of 3.93 eV, facilitating nonlinear optical conversion in the visible and UV regions.
“This material shows an enhanced chemical stability by simply replacing the Nb atoms with Ta atoms [184], as well as a wider bandgap (3.93 eV [185]), facilitating nonlinear optical conversion in the Vis and UV regions [186].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
