Abstract Fluorooxoborates, benefiting from the large optical band gap, high anisotropy, and ever‐greater possibility to form non‐centrosymmetric structures activated by polarization of [BO x F 4− ] ( +1)− building blocks, have been considered as new fertile fields for searching ultraviolet (UV) deep‐UV nonlinear (NLO) materials. Herein, we report first asymmetric alkaline‐earth metal fluorooxoborate SrB 5 O 7 3 , which is rationally designed taking classic Sr 2 Be B (SBBO) a maternal...

Currently, the fairly small birefringence MgF2 low transmittance α-BaB2O4 (α-BBO) hinder efficient application for wavelength below 200 nm. For example, deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light polarization urgently needed DUV lithography. Here we demonstrate based on...

Now, two NLO beryllium borates have been successfully designed...
Birefringent materials, the key components in modulating polarization of light, are great importance optical communication and laser industry. Limited by their transparency range, few birefringent materials can be practically used deep ultraviolet (DUV, λ < 200 nm) region. Different from traditional BO3- or B3O6-based DUV crystals, we propose a new functional gene, B2O5 unit, for designing materials. Excitingly, synergistic combination Li4B2O5 Na4B2O5 generates compound, Li2Na2B2O5, with...

Mid-IR nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are of great importance in modern laser frequency conversion technology and parametric oscillator processes. However, the commercially available IR NLO crystals (e.g., AgGaQ2 (Q = S, Se) ZnGeP2) suffer from two obstacles, low damage thresholds (LDTs) difficulty obtaining high-quality crystals, both which seriously hinder their applications. The introduction Cl, an element with a large electronegativity, Pb, relatively heavy to promote properties,...

Limited by their transparency range, few birefringent materials, except α-BaB2O4 (α-BBO), be practically used deep ultraviolet (UV) region. However, α-BBO suffers from a phase transition does not have enough UV By introducing relatively small alkali metal Na+ cation F– anion to keep favorable structural features α-BBO, we report new crystal Na3Ba2(B3O6)2F...
Birefringence plays a great role in phase matching of the nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals. Small birefringence restricts various crystals from achieving deep-ultraviolet laser output although they exhibit short UV cutoff edges and high second-harmonic generation (SHG) intensities. An access to achieve deeper coherent light through external pressure on NLO crystal, K3B6O10Cl is proposed demonstrated computer experiment based first principles theory. The “hot spot” structure that determine...
Sodium batteries (SBs) have aroused increasing attention due to the abundance and low cost of elemental sodium. In recent decades, intensive efforts been under way exploit advanced SBs for practical applications. However, conventional liquid electrolytes used in suffer from serious safety hazards (high volatility, inflammability, leakage), severe side reactions between electrodes electrolytes, inevitable sodium dendrite problems, which are greatly detrimental battery performance. Notably,...
