Abstract
Discovering new deep ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is the current research hotspot. However, how to perfectly integrate several stringent performances into a crystal is a great challenge because of the natural incompatibility among them, particularly wide band gap and large NLO coefficient. To tackle the challenge, a boron-rich closed-loop strategy is supposed, based on which a new barium borate, Ba4B14O25, is designed and synthesized successfully via the high-temperature solid-state melting method. It features a highly polymeric 3D geometry with the closed-loop anionic framework [B14O25]8- constructed by the fundamental building blocks [B14O33]24-. The high-density π-conjugated [BO3]3- groups and the fully closed-loop B-O-B connections make Ba4B14O25 possess excellent NLO properties, including short UV cutoff edge (<200 nm), large second harmonic generation response (3.0 × KDP) and phase-matching capability, being a promising DUV-transparent NLO candidate material. The work provides a creative design strategy for the exploration of DUV NLO crystals.

[PMID: 37841208 PMCID: PMC10568730 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1259000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The novel structure of lanthanum hydroxyborate La2B2O5(OH)2 was synthesized by the reaction of partially hydrolyzed lanthanum and boron oxide in a diamond anvil cell under high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) conditions of 30 GPa and ∼2,400 K. The single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the lanthanum hydroxyborate revealed: P 3 ¯ c 1 , a = 6.555(2) Å, c = 17.485(8) Å, Z = 6, R1 = 0.056. The three-dimensional structure consists of discrete planar BO3 groups and three crystallographically different La ions: one is surrounded by 9, one by 10, and one by 12 oxygen anions. The band gap was estimated using ab initio calculations to be 4.64 eV at ambient pressure and 5.26 eV at 30 GPa. The current work describes the novel HPHT lanthanum hydroxyborate with potential application as a deep-ultraviolet birefringent material.

Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) and Deep-UV (DUV, λ<200 nm) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials play a significant role to convert the wavelength of laser for producing UV/DUV coherent light in the laser industry. The Al [Ne]3s2 3p1 atom with empty d orbitals can form sp3 , sp3 d, and sp3 d2 hybrid orbitals when bonding with O/F atoms, which leads to the construction of [AlOm Fn ] (m+n=4, 5, 6) units. Therein, aluminoborates have received intensive attention due to the effective structural and functional adjustment effects of the diverse Al-O/F units. Accordingly, numerous aluminoborates as candidates for the next generation of UV/DUV NLO materials were discovered. In this review, recently discovered aluminoborates are overviewed and analyzed, including their syntheses, crystal structure features, and second-order NLO performances. We aim to provide the latest progress and outlook on the crystal chemistry of aluminoborates and boost the finding of the next NLO candidates with high performances.

Abstract
Two new sodium aluminum borates, Na3 AlB8 O15 and Na3 Al2 B7 O15 , have been successfully synthesized by the high-temperature solution method. They crystallize in the different space groups, P21 /c and P2/c, respectively. The B-O configurations of β-Na2 B6 O10 , Na3 AlB8 O15 and Na3 Al2 B7 O15 are compared to feature complicated different dimensional open-framework structures caused by the substitution of [BO4 ] by [AlO4 ] covalent tetrahedra. Moreover, the experimental results indicate that Na3 AlB8 O15 and Na3 Al2 B7 O15 have short ultraviolet (UV) cutoff edges (<187 nm). The first-principles calculations show that Na3 AlB8 O15 and Na3 Al2 B7 O15 have moderate birefringence (0.075 and 0.041@1064 nm, respectively).
