LiMg(IO 3 ) 3 : an excellent SHG material designed by single-site aliovalent substitution

An excellent second harmonic generation (SHG) material, LiMg(IO ) (LMIO), has been elaborately designed from Li M (IO ) (M = Ti, Sn, and Ge) by aliovalent substitution of the central M cation followed by Wyckoff position exchange. The new structure sustains the ideal-alignment of (IO ) groups. Impor...

Summary:An excellent second harmonic generation (SHG) material, LiMg(IO ) (LMIO), has been elaborately designed from Li M (IO ) (M = Ti, Sn, and Ge) by aliovalent substitution of the central M cation followed by Wyckoff position exchange. The new structure sustains the ideal-alignment of (IO ) groups. Importantly, LMIO exhibits an extremely strong SHG effect of roughly 24 × KH PO (KDP) under 1064 nm laser radiation or 1.5 × AgGaS (AGS) under 2.05 μm laser radiation, which is larger than that of α-LiIO (18 × KDP). The replacement of M with Mg without d-d electronic transitions induces an obviously larger band gap (4.34 eV) with a short absorption edge (285 nm). This study shows that single-site aliovalent substitution provides a new synthetic route for designing SHG materials.
