Unexpected aliovalent cation substitution between two NLO materials LiBa3Bi6(SeO3)7F11 and Ba3Bi6.5(SeO3)7F10.5O0.5†
Abstract
One new combination, alkali-metal and alkaline earth-metal selenite fluoride, LiBa3Bi6(SeO3)7F11 (LBBSF) and its analogue Ba3Bi6.5(SeO3)7F10.5O0.5 (BBSF) were reported here for the first time. Unusual aliovalent cation substitution between them affected the layer thickness and made the bond strains of [SeO3] enhanced, thereby inducing greater distortions and affecting the SHG efficiencies. This work may provide thoughts for exploring new NLO materials.
