“…A series of mixed-metal rare earth borates with the general formula of A 7 MRE 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 were continually reported by many groups, − in which A represents mono-alkali metal or mixed alkali metals, M site can be alkaline-earth metal or divalent post-transition metal (like Zn, Cd, Pb, etc . ), and RE refers rare-earth metal.…”

“…For those mixed alkali and alkaline-earth metal members consisting of the RE atoms with closed-shell electronic configurations or half-occupied 4 f orbitals, i.e. , Y, Sc, La, Gd, and Lu, they can be transparent down to 190 nm. − , Their SHG responses range from 0.4 to 2.1 × KDP under 1064 nm, which is tuned by different A-, M-, and RE-sites anions, but such NLO effects are not competitive compared with those of other rare earth NLO materials. − It should be noted that more borates can be obtained by chemical substitution and co-substitution strategy based on the template of A 7 MRE 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , which provides a good model to study the effects of A-site metal cation on structure and property. At present, large single crystals of this family have not been grown, as such birefringence, SHG coefficients, and laser damage threshold have not been measured or determined experimentally.…”

The primary goal of this review is to present a clear chemical perspective of borates in order to stimulate and facilitate the discovery of new borate-based optical materials. These materials, which exhibit structures as varied as they are complex, are needed to meet the urgent technological milestones. In the current period of rapid sociotechnological breakthroughs, the need for the rational design and discovery of novel borates with superior performance is greater than ever before. Through the sustained efforts of chemists and material scientists, more than 3900 boron-containing compounds, including borate minerals and synthetic borates, have been documented in the scientific literature. This review provides a survey of all the reported anhydrous borates and an analysis of their complex structural chemistry. State-of-the-art progress related to technological advances in borate-based nonlinear optical, birefringent, and self-frequency-doubling materials is surveyed, with special emphasis on the relationships between structural architectures and optical properties. More importantly, this review serves both as a scientific introduction for graduates and post-doctoral researchers to the chemical richness of solid-state borates and as a comprehensive reference for researchers interested in borate-based optical materials.

“…Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal materials have shown significant interest in modern laser science and technology due to their frequency doubling effect based on the second harmonic generation (SHG). − In recent years, efforts have been made to develop new NLO materials. Therewith, extensive exploration has been made on borates, carbonates, nitrates, and other Π conjugated systems, and thus a series of new NLO materials have been developed, such as KBe 2 BO 3 F 2 , K 7 CaY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , Na 2 CsBe 6 B 5 O 15 , NaSr 3 Be 3 B 3 O 9 F 4 , Pb 2 BO 3 I, Li 4 Sr(BO 3 ) 2 , β-Rb 2 Al 2 B 2 O 7 , NaZnCO 3 (OH), ABCO 3 F (A = K, Rb, Cs; B = Ca, Sr), RbMgCO 3 F, YOHCO 3 , Rb 2 Na(NO 3 ) 3 , RE(OH) 2 NO 3 (RE = La, Y, and Gd), etc. However, these materials remain in the laboratory stage.…”

A new alkali metal–rare earth metal anhydrous sulfate, KTb(SO4)2 (KTSO), was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. It crystallized in the non-centrosymmetric (NCS) orthorhombic space group P212121 with cell parameters a = 5.43950(10), b = 8.8579(3), c = 13.3962(4), Z = 2. Its structure is composed of [KO11], [TbO8], and [SO4] groups, which are interconnected to constitute a one-dimensional (1D) chain, and then further linked to construct a three-dimensional (3D) network structure through [SO4] units. The results of the powder frequency doubling test show that KTb(SO4)2 has a phase-matching second-order nonlinear optical effect of 0.3 times that of KH2PO4 (KDP). The measured birefringence of the crystal (0.01) agrees well with the calculated value (0.019). Meanwhile, its infrared and ultraviolet spectrum and thermal properties were studied, respectively. Its optical properties and band gap structure are studied by theoretical calculation. This work provides a NCS structure of anhydrous sulfates and offers guidance for further exploration of new anhydrous sulfates.

“…However, their PM capacities judged by the Kurtz–Perry method are totally divergent. K 6 Li 3 Sc 2 B 15 O 30 , K 21 Yb 8 B 45 O 90 , K 3 YB 6 O 12 , and K 7 CaY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 are non-PM, whereas K 7 SrY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , K 7 BaY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , K 7 CdSc 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , K 7 CdY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 , and K 7 PbY 2 B 15 O 30 are PM. Therefore, it is interesting to further study the PM capacity of a crystal with this type of structure.…”

Phase-matchable (PM) capacity is an indispensable factor in evaluating the applicable prospect of a new nonlinear optical crystal. Obtaining an accurate and credible PM curve by the Kurtz−Perry method using a small single crystal is indeed crucial. Here, we reported a new borate NLO crystal Rb 7 SrY 2 (B 5 O 10 ) 3 (I) and studied the influence of the arrangement of micro-[B 5 O 10 ] groups on its birefringence. Interestingly, the synthesized polycrystalline powder and grinded single crystal display divergent PM and non-PM behavior, respectively. Combining theoretical calculations and analysis, I is demonstrated to be non-phase matchable for the secondharmonic generation (SHG) process of a 1064 nm laser.
