The parameters of both the solute concentrations and cooling rates are optimized for the KCI flux growth of the larger Ba_5Nb_2Ta_2O_15 crystals with clearer crystal habits. Here, the optimal Ba_5Nb_2Ta_2O_15 crystals mainly have a hexagonal plate-like shape. After the par- tial nitridation and acidification, the porous BaNb_0.5Ta_0.5O_2N crystals maintained the crystal shape of the oxide precursor and had a single-crystalline nature. For the BasNb2Ta2015 crystals, the wavelength of the absorption edge was about 707 nm.
