The exploration and development of second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials in the
middle-and far infrared (MFIR) region are important and high profile topics in the fields of …

Crystals with mixed anions refer to inorganic salts containing at least two types of anions or
anionic groups, and these anions can be Q 2−(Q= O, S, Se, Te) and X−(X= F, Cl, Br, I), and …

Understanding and exploring the functional modules (FMs) consisting of local atomic groups
can promote the development of the materials with functional performances. Oxygen …

LiCs2PO4, a new deep-ultraviolet (UV) transparent material, was synthesized by the flux
method. The material contains unusual edge-sharing LiO4-PO4 tetrahedra. It exhibits a very …

Ultraviolet (UV) nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals which can produce short‐wavelength lasers
via a direct second harmonic generation (SHG) process are of great importance in modern …

Complex coordinated functional groups [MA x B y](M= Central coordination element; A, B=
P, O, S, Se, F, Cl, Br or I) are composed of different types of anions A, B jointly linked to the …

Infrared (IR) nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are the key devices for generating tunable
infrared output between∼ 3 and∼ 20 μm by laser frequency conversion techniques. Based …

The main commercially used birefringent oxides α‐BaB2O4 and YVO4 have the
birefringences of 0.12 and 0.22. We propose a targeted high‐throughput screening system …

Balancing the wide band gap, large second harmonic generation (SHG) response, and
moderate birefringence are significant but addressable challenges for designing nonlinear …

Design of functional materials with targeted properties is a challenge because of the
diversity of their potential structures. The functional performances of materials are mainly …
