<div> <div> <div> <p>We identify the existence of nonlinear optical (NLO) activity in a number of novel ABX3-type metal-free perovskites, where A is a highly tuneable organic cation, B is a NH4 cation and X a halide anion. Through systematic first-principles calculations, we identify important trends to chart the second-harmonic generation of this class of materials. We study three perovskites MDABCO- NH4 I3 , CNDABCO-NH4 I3 and ODABCO-NH4 I3 for use as deep-UV second-harmonic generation materials. We identify the role of the dipole moment imparted by the organic group on the A cation as an important parameter to tune the NLO properties of these materials. We apply this knowledge functionalising the organic group DABCO with the highly polar cyanide CN group, and we demonstrate a significant improvement of the NLO response in this family of materials. These findings can accelerate the application of metal free perovskites as inexpensive, non-toxic, earth-abundant materials for the next generation of optical communication applications. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Spherical Gold Nanoparticles

A significant enhancement of the second harmonic generation (SHG) from second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) dyes in solution has been evidenced when these dyes were grafted onto the surface of spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), as compared to their NLO response without AuNPs. The length, as well as the nature of the spacers between the gold particle and the chromophore, is shown to play an important role, a benzene linker being more favorable to AuNP-4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) interactions, as illustrated by a higher exaltation of the NLO response for DAST molecules linked to AuNP via a phenyl ring as compared to their equivalent with a CH2–CH2 link.

ABSTRACTWe present our implementation of the length-gauge formalism of Sipe and coworkers (Phys. Rev. B 48, 11705 (1993); ibid 52, 14636 (1995)) using the linearized muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) method and discuss its application to the calculation of second order response functions. The importance of gap corrections beyond LDA is discussed. As primary application, we discuss the second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients of the SiC polytypes and of the chalcopyrites of both the II-IV-V2 and I-III-VI2 families. These examples illustrate the relation of the second order response function to the modification of the crystal structure and chemical substitutions.

The EFISH and HRS responses of a push-pull bisphthalocyanine-[2,2]paracyclophane compound have been measured at 1.9 and 1.06 μm, respectively, obtaining a remarkably high hyperpolarizability β HRS value. Since the two electronically different phthalocyanine chromophores are connected through a non π-conjugated and rigid [2,2]paracyclophane spacer, this result implies an efficient through-space intramolecular charge transfer between them. The results have been compared to that of structurally related, unsymmetrically substituted phthalocyanines 2-5, bearing either [2,2]paracyclophane or phenyl substituents. In these cases, the [2,2]paracycloplane does not play a significant role in the NLO response, being that the nature of the peripheral sustituents on the phthalocyanine is the most influent structural feature.
