Abstract
Noncentrosymmetric chalcogenides are promising candidates for infrared nonlinear-optical (NLO) crystals, and exploring high-performance ones is a hot topic and challengeable. Herein, the combination of AgQ4, InQ4, and SiQ4 (Q = S, Se) units with different S/Se ratios resulted in the discovery of the tetrahedral chalcogenides Ag2In2SiS4Se2 (1) and Ag2In2SiS5Se (2). They both crystallize in the monoclinic Cc space group with different local structures. Co-occupied S/Se sites only exist in 2, and the arrangement of [In2SiQ3] six-membered rings builds different helical chains and 3D [(In2SiQ6)2-]n polyanionic frameworks in 1 and 2. They show balanced NLO performances, including phase-matchable moderate NLO responses (0.7 and 0.5 × AGS) and enhanced laser-induced damage thresholds (4.5 and 5.1 × AGS). Theoretical calculations reveal that their NLO responses are predominantly contributed by the AgQ4 and InQ4 units.

Yang HD, Ran MY, Zhou SH, Wu XT, Lin H, Zhu QL. Rational design via dual-site aliovalent substitution leads to an outstanding IR nonlinear optical material with well-balanced comprehensive properties. Chem Sci 2022; 13:10725-10733. [PMID: 36320698 PMCID: PMC9491097 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc03760b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The acquisition of a non-centrosymmetric (NCS) structure and achieving a nice trade-off between a large energy gap (E g > 3.5 eV) and a strong second-harmonic generation (SHG) response (d eff > 1.0 × benchmark AgGaS2) are two formidable challenges in the design and development of infrared nonlinear optical (IR-NLO) candidates. In this work, a new quaternary NCS sulfide, SrCdSiS4, has been rationally designed using the centrosymmetric SrGa2S4 as the template via a dual-site aliovalent substitution strategy. SrCdSiS4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Ama2 (no. 40) and features a unique two-dimensional [CdSiS4]2- layer constructed from corner- and edge-sharing [CdS4] and [SiS4] basic building units (BBUs). Remarkably, SrCdSiS4 displays superior IR-NLO comprehensive performances, and this is the first report on an alkaline-earth metal-based IR-NLO material that breaks through the incompatibility between a large E g (>3.5 eV) and a strong phase-matching d eff (>1.0 × AgGaS2). In-depth mechanism explorations strongly demonstrate that the synergistic effect of distorted tetrahedral [CdS4] and [SiS4] BBUs is the main origin of the strong SHG effect and large birefringence. This work not only provides a high-performance IR-NLO candidate, but also offers a feasible chemical design strategy for constructing NCS structures.

Abstract
Magnetic infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials, particularly those containing d-block metals, have attracted considerable attention due to the contributions of d-orbitals to large NLO efficiency. However, the d-d transitions from the d-block metals lead to strong optical absorption and narrow band gap, seriously hindering their practical applications. The structural flexibility of salt-inclusion systems provides a good opportunity for modulating the crystal field of magnetic ions to suppress the d-d transitions but allowing the NLO-active d-s and d-p transitions. These ideas afford a new salt-inclusion sulfide [K3Cl][Mn2Ga6S12], which features a rare nanoporous [MnGa3S6]- framework with tunnels of inner diameter of 9.0 Å and possesses a broad transparency (0.39-25.0 μm) and the widest band gap (3.17 eV) among all magnetic IR NLO chalcogenides. Remarkably, it exhibits a strong phase-matchable second-harmonic generation intensity (0.8 × AgGaS2 at 1910 nm and 3.1 × AgGaS2 at 1064 nm) and a high laser-induced damage threshold (12.5 × AgGaS2 at 1064 nm), achieving the important criteria of an advanced IR NLO material.

Abstract
Abstract
As early as 2001, the need for the ‘functional motif theory’ was pointed out to assist the rational design of functional materials. The properties of materials are determined by their functional motifs and by how they are arranged in the materials. Uncovering the functional motifs and their arrangements is crucial in understanding the properties of materials and rationally designing new materials of desired properties. The functional motifs of materials are the critical microstructural units (e.g. constituent components and building blocks) that play a decisive role in generating certain material functions, and could not be replaced with other structural units without losing or significantly suppressing the relevant functions. The role of functional motifs and their arrangements in materials with representative examples was presented. These examples could be classified into six types of material microscopic structures on a length scale smaller than ∼10 nm with maximum subatomic resolution, i.e. the crystal, magnetic, aperiodic, defect, local, and electronic structures. The method of functional motif analysis could be employed in the function-oriented design of materials, as elucidated by taking infrared nonlinear optical materials as an example. Machine learning is more efficient in predicting material properties and screening materials with high efficiency than high-throughput experimentation and high-throughput calculations. In extracting the functional motifs and finding their quantitative relationships, developing sufficiently reliable databases for material structures and properties is imperative.

Abstract
Infrared (IR) lasers are very critical in military and civil affairs, but it is also challenging and difficult to develop new infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. Herein, two new mixed-metal thiophosphates, Cu5Hg0.5P2S8 and AgHg3PS6 were discovered with the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) space group Pmn21 (No. 31) and Cc (No. 9). Cu5Hg0.5P2S8 displays a three-dimensional (3D) defective diamond-like structure stacked by ∞2[Cu2.5Hg0.25PS8]8- layers. AgHg3PS6 is characterized by a 3D framework consisting of distorted tetrahedrons. Moreover, the optical spectra show the band gaps of Cu5Hg0.5P2S8 and AgHg3PS6 are 2.12 and 1.85 eV, respectively, with a broad transparent range of 0.7-16.0 μm. In these two compounds, the dipole moments of nonlinear active units are strengthened due to the high-valence element P and the Hg-S bonds with large susceptibility. Therefore, AgHg3PS6 exhibits a moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) response that is half that of AgGaS2 (AGS) at 30-45 μm, while Cu5Hg0.5P2S8 performs a phase-matching (PM) behavior with a good SHG signal of 0.8 × AGS at 150-200 μm. The origin of NLO performance and electronic structures were revealed by the calculated dipole moments of distorted tetrahedra and theoretical calculations on the basis of density functional theory.

Abstract
A new arsenide, Cd7SiAs6, has been successfully synthesized and characterized. It is the first arsenide that adopts a nonchalcopyrite structure and possesses a strong nonlinear-optical (NLO) response. In the structure, the CdAs3 trigonal planar unit, a kind of π-conjugated planar NLO-active group, was identified for the first time. Furthermore, theoretical calculations reveal that the CdAs3 planar unit contributes more to the NLO effect than the CdAs4 tetrahedron does. The result may provide valuable insights for the future exploration of IR NLO materials, especially for application above 10 μm.

Abstract
The new, quaternary diamond-like semiconductor (DLS) Cu4MnGe2S7 was prepared at high-temperature from a stoichiometric reaction of the elements under vacuum. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data were used to solve and refine the structure in the polar space group Cc. Cu4MnGe2S7 features [Ge2S7]6- units and adopts the Cu5Si2S7 structure type that can be considered a derivative of the hexagonal diamond structure. The DLS Cu2MnGeS4 with the wurtz-stannite structure was similarly prepared at a lower temperature. The achievement of relatively phase-pure samples, confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction data, was nontrival as differential thermal analysis shows an incongruent melting behaviour for both compounds at relatively high temperature. The dark red Cu2MnGeS4 and Cu4MnGe2S7 compounds exhibit direct optical bandgaps of 2.21 and 1.98 eV, respectively. The infrared (IR) spectra indicate potentially wide windows of optical transparency up to 25 μm for both materials. Using the Kurtz-Perry powder method, the second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, χ(2), values for Cu2MnGeS4 and Cu4MnGe2S7 were estimated to be 16.9 ± 2.0 pm V-1 and 2.33 ± 0.86 pm V-1, respectively, by comparing with an optical-quality standard reference material, AgGaSe2 (AGSe). Cu2MnGeS4 was found to be phase matchable at λ = 3100 nm, whereas Cu4MnGe2S7 was determined to be non-phase matchable at λ = 1600 nm. The weak SHG response of Cu4MnGe2S7 precluded phase-matching studies at longer wavelengths. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) for Cu2MnGeS4 was estimated to be ∼0.1 GW cm-2 at λ = 1064 nm (pulse width: τ = 30 ps), while the LIDT for Cu4MnGe2S7 could not be ascertained due to its weak response. The significant variance in NLO properties can be reasoned using the results from electronic structure calculations.

Abstract
The search for nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals with excellent comprehensive properties is a formidable challenge. In this work, two guanidine antimony fluorides, C(NH2)3Sb2F7 and C(NH2)3SbF4, were obtained by conjunction of [C(NH2)3] groups with π-conjugated configuration and stereochemically active Sb3+ cations. Due to the different coordination modes of Sb-F bonds and H-F hydrogen bonds, the crystal structure of C(NH2)3Sb2F7 is centrosymmetric (CS), while C(NH2)3SbF4 is noncentrosymmetric (NCS). Optical measurements show that the UV cutoff wavelengths of the title compounds were both less than 240 nm. Thermal studies indicate that these crystals are stable up to 250 °C. In addition, the second harmonic generation (SHG) response of C(NH2)3SbF4 is 2 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP) with the phase-matchable capacity. Theoretical calculations reveal that the large SHG effects of C(NH2)3SbF4 were attributed to the synergy between the planar [C(NH2)3] units and the distorted [SbF4] groups. These results demonstrate that the guanidine antimony fluorides will have potential value as UV NLO materials.

Abstract
Compared with one or two functional chromophores materials, Hg3AsQ4X (Q = S, Se; X = Cl, Br, I) with multiple ones generate extremely large birefringence due to the synergism of the d10 cation Hg2+, lone pair layer of As3+ and mixed anions Q2−/X−.

Abstract
Metal chalcogenides play a critical role in the infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) field. However, Eu-based chalcogenide-type IR NLO materials are still scarce up to now. In this paper, two new quaternary Eu-based chalcogenides, EuHgGeSe4 and EuHgSnS4, containing the "NLO active groups" [HgQ4]6- (Q = S, Se) and [GeSe4]4-/[SnS4]4- were synthesized through traditional high-temperature solid-state reactions. They possess noncentrosymmetric structures, crystallizing in the Ama2 space group, and exhibit strong phase-matchable second-harmonic-generation (SHG) responses (3.1× and 1.77× that of AgGaS2 for EuHgGeSe4 and EuHgSnS4, respectively). Meanwhile, the optical band gaps of EuHgGeSe4 (1.97 eV) and EuHgSnS4 (2.14 eV) were determined from UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectra. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses reveal the congruent-melting behavior of EuHgGeSe4. Furthermore, structural analysis and theoretical calculations verify the critical driving effects of [HgQ4]6- tetrahedra on the strong SHG activity. The overall results demonstrate that EuHgGeSe4 and EuHgSnS4 are potential IR NLO materials.
