Abstract
The development of short-wavelength nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is indispensable and urgently required for further applications. Halides have been disregarded as potential NLO materials with deep-ultraviolet (DUV) cutoff edges due to their weak second-harmonic generation (SHG) response and poor birefringence. Here, two novel and isostructural halides, KBa3M2F14Cl (M = Zr (KBZFC), Hf (KBHFC)), possess structures that are formed by isolated MF7 monocapped triangular prisms and dissociative K+, Ba2+, and Cl- ions. Compared with reported metal halides that are transparent to the DUV region, KBZFC and KBHFC possess the strongest SHG responses (approximately 1, 0.9 × KH2PO4), which are contributed by the synergistic effect of MF7 (M = Zr, Hf) groups, Ba2+ cations, and Cl- ions. The zero-dimensional structures favour sufficient birefringences (0.12, 0.10 @ 1064 nm) for phase-matchable (PM) behaviours. The discovery of KBZFC and KBHFC showcases the potential of NLO mixed metal halides transparent to the DUV region.

[PMID: 38404379 PMCID: PMC10882493 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc06683e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Traditional fluorides are rarely reported as candidates for nonlinear optical (NLO) materials featuring a deep-ultraviolet cutoff edge. Theoretical investigations suggest that the ZrF8 dodecahedron shows large polarizability anisotropy and benefits for large birefringence. Herein, a new fluorine-rich fluoride, K3Ba2Zr6F31, was synthesized by coupling the ZrF8 group, featuring acentric cis-[Zr6F34]10- clusters with a 63-screw axis. Significantly, K3Ba2Zr6F31 exhibits a short UV cutoff edge (below 200 nm) and moderate second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (0.5 × KH2PO4). It also possesses a relatively large birefringence (0.08@1064 nm), together with a broad transparency window (2.5-21.1 μm). First-principles calculations suggest that the cis-[Zr6F34]10- cluster built by ZrF8 dodecahedra are the dominant contributors to the large band gap (7.89 eV, cal.) and SHG response simultaneously. Such systematic work highlights that Zr-based fluorides afford a new paradigm for the development of efficient NLO materials with a short UV cutoff edge.

Abstract
Birefringent crystals can modulate and detect the polarization of light and are important optical functional materials. The birefringence is positively correlated to the anisotropy of the structure. By partially substituting sulfate anion with large electronegative fluorine in the parent compound Y2(SO4)3·8H2O, a new fluorinated rare-earth sulfate YSO4F·H2O with enhanced anisotropy was achieved. YSO4F·H2O features a dense 3D structure constructed by the polarizable [YOF] polyhedra and [SO4] tetrahedra. The diffuse reflectance spectrum reveals that it has a short UV absorption edge of below 200 nm. The substitution of the F- ion enhances the optical anisotropy, making the material exhibit an enhanced birefringence (0.0357 at 546 nm), which is 5.1 times that of the parent compound and is also larger than most deep-UV birefringent sulfates. It is expected that this work may shed useful insights in the exploration of deep-UV birefringent materials with enhanced optical performances..

Abstract
Borates provide an excellent platform for investigating the optical nonlinearity and linearity of crystals as photoelectric functional materials. In our work, borate derivatives with isolated [B3O3] six-membered rings as structural features are the preferred system due to their simple functional units and excellent properties. Herein, by utilizing the target-oriented synthesis, a series of borate derivatives, A2[B3O3F4(OH)] (A= NH4, Rb, Cs) (ABOFH), K2.3Cs0.7B3O3F6 (KCsBOF), and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 (CsBOHCl), with novel heteroanionic groups containing [BOxF4-x] (x = 0-3) and/or [BO2(OH)] units were obtained. ABOFH, KCsBOF, and CsBOHCl construct different two-dimensional pesudolayers featuring [B3O3F4(OH)], [B3O3F6], and [B3O3(OH)3] units, respectively. Also, the optical properties and the arrangement information of these anionic groups were studied. Among the total five compounds, (NH4)2[B3O3F4(OH)] and Cs3[B3O3(OH)3]Cl3 with enlarged birefringence and sufficient band gaps were screened out as promising birefringent crystals due to the optimally aligned configuration of birefringence-active heteroanionic units. The successful results of target-oriented synthesis indicate a more profound conclusion that the borate system now has more diversified structural chemistry, and an effective strategy was proposed to modify the arrangement and species of anionic units to optimize the performance of optical crystals.

Abstract
Searching on the functional building units with ultrawide band gaps, large hyperpolarizabilities, and strong anisotropies is the key to finding new deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear-optical (NLO) materials. In this study, the polar covalent tetrahedral unit [SO3(OH)]- is studied by theoretical calculation and its excellent DUV optical properties are revealed. Moreover, we thoroughly investigate the known bisulfates, finding a promising DUV NLO crystal, NaHSO4·H2O. It exhibits a large second-harmonic-generation (SHG) response of 1.5 times that of KH2PO4 and a short cutoff edge (shorter than 190 nm). Meanwhile, it has the largest birefringence of 0.042 at 546 nm among the DUV NLO sulfates. Our study suggests that bisulfates should be fresh and ideal DUV NLO candidates.

Abstract
Discovering novel sulfate optical materials with strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) and large birefringence is confronted by a great challenge attributed to the intrinsically weak polarizability and optical anisotropy of tetrahedral SO4 groups. Herein, two superior-performing sulfate optical materials, namely, noncentrosymmetric Hg3 O2 SO4 and centrosymmetric CsHgClSO4 ⋅ H2 O, have been successfully synthesized through the introduction of a highly polarizable d10 metal cation, Hg2+ . The unique component layers in the reported compounds, [Hg3 O2 SO4 ]∞ layers in Hg3 O2 SO4 and [HgClSO4 (H2 O)] ∞ - layers in CsHgClSO4 ⋅ H2 O, induce enlarged birefringence in each sulfate. Remarkably, Hg3 O2 SO4 exhibits a very large SHG response (14 times that of KH2 PO4 ), which is the strongest efficiency among all the reported nonlinear optical sulfates. Detailed theoretical calculations confirm that the employment of highly polarizable Hg2+ is an effective strategy to design superior optical materials with large birefringence and strong SHG response.
