Abstract: Novel molecular sieves are disclosed which are oxides of (a) an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal and/or ammonium, (b) beryllium, cobalt and/or zinc, and (c) phosphorous, arsenic and/or vanadium, and optionally contain water. These zeolite-like materials, which contain little or no aluminum or silicon, can be made by a novel low temperature process. The molecular sieves are useful as ion exchange resins.

Abstract: A composition is disclosed which consists essentially of doped crystalline MTiOXO.sub.4 (wherein M is selected from the group consisting of K, Rb and Tl, X is selected from the group consisting of P and As) which contain at least about 100 ppm total of at least one dopant selected from the group consisting of Ga, Al and Si. The compositions generally have low ionic conductivity, and may be prepared using an improved flux process wherein Ga, Al and/or Si dopant is added to the flux in a total amount of at least about 0.5 mole % and the crystallization temperature is controlled to provide a crystalline composition containing the desired amount of dopant.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of single crystals of MTiOXO.sub.4, wherein M is K, Rb or Tl and X is P or As, of optical quality and of sufficient size for use in nonlinear optical devices. In the process, starting ingredients chosen to be within the region of the ternary phase diagram in which the desired crystal MTiOXO.sub.4 product is the only stable solid phase, are heated to produce MTiOXO.sub.4 and then controllably cooled to crystallize the desired product. In a preferred method the ingredients are placed in a temperature gradient in which the hot zone ranges from about 800.degree.-1000.degree. C. and the cold zone about 10.degree.-135.degree. C. cooler, maintaining the temperature gradient for about 3 days to about 3 weeks, cooling, and recovering MTiOXO.sub.4 crystals.
