Four UV transparent selenite materials with balanced properties including moderate SHG responses, appropriate birefringence, and wide bandgaps have been successfully obtained through rational design and screening. Among them, the bandgaps of two materials are the largest in the reported pure selenite nonlinear optical materials, further demonstrating pure selenite as a good candidate for UV NLO materials.
UV nonlinear optical materials require the simultaneous achievement of a large second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient (=1 x KH2PO4 (KDP), d(ij) > 0.39 pmV(-1)), wide bandgap (? < 300 nm, Eg > 4.2 eV), and moderate birefringence (0.05-0.10@1064 nm) in a single structure. Therefore, designing UV nonlinear optical materials with excellent comprehensive performance is a challenging task. Herein, four UV transparent selenite materials are successfully obtained, namely, Al-2(SeO3)(3)(H2O)(3) (1), Ga-2(SeO3)(3)(H2O)(3) (2), NaGa3(HSeO3)(6)(SeO3)(2) (3), and Cd5Ga4(HSeO3)(2)(SeO3)(10) (4), through rational design and screening in the pure selenite system. Al-2(SeO3)(3)(H2O)(3) (1) and Ga-2(SeO3)(3)(H2O)(3) (2) are UV nonlinear optical materials with balanced properties, exhibiting moderate SHG responses (1.2 and 1.1 x KDP), appropriate birefringence (0.084 and 0.076@1064 nm), and wide bandgaps (5.5 and 5.3 eV). Such bandgaps are the largest in the reported pure selenite nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. This work further demonstrates that pure selenite is a good candidate for UV NLO materials.
