Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals with superior properties are significant for advancing laser technologies and applications. Introducing rare earth metals to borates is a promising and effective way to modify the electronic structure of a crystal to improve its optical properties in the visible and ultraviolet range. In this work, we computationally discover inversion symmetry breaking in EuBa3(B3O6)3, which was previously identified as centric, and demonstrate noncentrosymmetry via synthesizing single crystals for the first time by the floating zone method. We determine the correct space group to be

P 6¯. The material has a large direct bandgap of 5.56 eV and is transparent down to 250 nm. The complete anisotropic linear and nonlinear optical properties were also investigated with ad 11of ∼0.52 pm/V for optical second harmonic generation. Further, it is Type I and Type II phase matchable. This work suggests that rare earth metal borates are an excellent crystal family for exploring future deep ultraviolet (DUV) NLO crystals. It also highlights how first principles computations combined with experiments can be used to identify noncentrosymmetric materials that have been wrongly assigned to be centrosymmetric. -
The new, quaternary diamond-like semiconductor (DLS) Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 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. Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 features [Ge 2 S 7 ] 6− units and adopts the Cu 5 Si 2 S 7 structure type that can be considered a derivative of the hexagonal diamond structure. The DLS Cu 2 MnGeS 4 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 Cu 2 MnGeS 4 and Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 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 Cu 2 MnGeS 4 and Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 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, AgGaSe 2 (AGSe). Cu 2 MnGeS 4 was found to be phase matchable at λ = 3100 nm, whereas Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 was determined to be non-phase matchable at λ = 1600 nm. The weak SHG response of Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 precluded phase-matching studies at longer wavelengths. The laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) for Cu 2 MnGeS 4 was estimated to be ∼0.1 GW cm −2 at λ = 1064 nm (pulse width: τ = 30 ps), while the LIDT for Cu 4 MnGe 2 S 7 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.more » « less

Abstract The present paper reports the multifunctional properties of lead‐free BiFeO3–La (BFO–La) thin films. The structural, microstructural, and optical properties have been investigated as a function of the lanthanum doping concentration. The structural properties at room temperature showed the formation of the perovskite structure, thus suggesting the high quality of the obtained thin film compositions. Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed a slight variation in both the peak position and absolute intensity for the Raman active modes, as lanthanum content increases in BiFeO3–La. Crystallized thin films with well‐defined grains as well as crack‐free surfaces have been obtained, for all the studied compositions, as inferred from atomic force microscopy images. The optical properties have been measured, and the values for the direct bandgap was significantly lower than those reported for other BFO‐based systems, being the lowest ∼1.87 eV for the Bi0.90La0.10FeO3composition. Results revealed a noteworthy effect of the defect concentrations induced by the lanthanum doping on the long‐range crystallinity and directly affecting the polarizability of the A–O bond as well as the Fe–O and Fe–O–Fe bond lengths in the perovskite structure. The enhanced optical absorption properties registered for the Bi1–
x Lax FeO3(x = 0–20) compositions make these perovskite multiferroic thin films as a potential candidate material for the high‐performance photovoltaic device applications. -

Abstract Chirality and polarity are the two most important and representative symmetry‐dependent properties. For polar structures, all the twofold axes perpendicular to the principal axis of symmetry should be removed. For chiral structures, all the mirror‐related symmetries and inversion axes should be removed. Especially for duality (polarity and chirality), all of the above symmetries should be broken and that also represents the highest‐level challenge. Herein, a new symmetry‐breaking strategy that employs heteroanionic groups to construct hourglass‐like [Sr3OGeS3]2+and [Sr3SGeS3]2+groups to design and synthesize a new oxychalcogenide Sr18Ge9O5S31with chiral‐polar duality is proposed. The presence of two enantiomers of Sr18Ge9O5S31is confirmed by the single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Its optical activity and ferroelectricity are also studied by solid‐state circular dichroism spectroscopy and piezoresponse force microscopy, respectively. Further property measurements show that Sr18Ge9O5S31possesses excellent nonlinear optical properties, including the strong second harmonic generation efficiency (≈2.5 × AGS), large bandgap (3.61 eV), and wide mid‐infrared transparent region (≈15.3 µm). These indicate that the unique microstructure groups of heteroanionic materials are conducive to realizing symmetry‐breaking and are able to provide some inspiration for exploring the chiral‐polar duality materials.

Abstract Borate halides are an ideal materials class from which to design high‐performance nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Currently, borate fluorides, chlorides, and bromides are extensively investigated while borate iodide materials discovery remains rare because of the perceived synthetic challenges. We report a new borate iodide, Pb2BO3I, synthesized by a straightforward hydrothermal method. The Pb2BO3I chemical formula conceals that the compound exhibits a structure similar to the well‐established KBe2BO3F2(KBBF), which we show supports the highest second‐harmonic generation (SHG) at 1064 nm in the KBBF family, 10 × KH2PO4(KDP), arising from the inclusion of Pb2+and I−and the crystal chemistry. Our work shows that KBBF‐related compounds can be synthesized incorporating iodide and exhibit superior NLO responses.
