AbstractBy considering selected examples of new structure types, guidelines are set forth for the synthesis of new solid-state inorganic borates that are likely to have desirable properties for nonlinear optical applications. The structures of two new, noncentrosymmetric orthoborate fluorides BaCaBO3F and Ba7(BO3)3F5 demonstrate a feasibility for controlling linear optical properties and for producing noncentrosymmetric borates that melt congruently. The structure of SrLi(B3O5)3 represents an additional example of a noncentrosymmetric borate resulting from chirality of the B3O7 ring. In addition to potential practical value, crystals of the type AMOB2O5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs; M = Nb and Ta) provide a unique means for examining the structural dependent interrelationships of linear and nonlinear optical properties.

A novel tree-like nano-cadmium sulfide (CdS) with the fractal feature is synthesized by solid-state reaction at room temperature from complex precursor with aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid (ATMP) as ligand. The obtained sample is the crystalline cubic beta cadmium sulfide. The tree is composed of nanorods with an average diameter of ca. 95 nm and a length of up to 100–650 nm. The nanorods grow in the asymmetrical "Y" shape. The amount of ATMP plays an important role in the formation of fractal structure. Nonlinear optical (NLO) measurements by the Z-scan technique exhibit that the tree-like fractal nano- CdS has the third-order nonlinear optical properties of both NLO absorption and NLO refraction with self-focusing effect and the optical limiting performance.

The systematization of piezoelectic (PE), pyroelectric (PYE), electrooptic (EO), and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties has been carried out for the polar oxide crystals, used in functional electronics. The sharp extremal dependence has been found for the upper envelope of fuzzy sets for these properties taken in pairs. There is no any theoretical analysis of such dependencies in solid state physics up to now. It is shown nevertheless, that general view of such interrelationships is different in detail. The experimental points are near the upper envelope for the NLO-PE interrelationship, but there is still a lack of empirical data for EO-PE interrelationship. The highest acentric properties are observed in crystals of multicomponent oxide relaxors, partially studied only in the last 20 years.
