Single crystals of a series of rare earth borates, A₃Ln (BO₃) (A = Na, K; Ln = Eu, Tb), were synthesized using a boric acid/hydroxide melt. The Na₃Ln (BO₃)₂ borates crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P2₁/n, and the K₃Ln (BO₃)₂ borates crystallized in the orthorhombic system with space group Pnma. Here, the luminescence of these borates was investigated under ultraviolet and X-ray excitations for the first time. Radioluminescence (RL) measurements showed K₃Tb(BO₃)₂ to be the brightest compound, with an integral intensity equal to 55% of the integral emission of Bi₄Ge₃O₁₂ (BGO) powder.
