Abstract:In search of new
nonlinear optical crystals for the mid-IR range,
we grew single crystals of LiGa0.55In0.45Te2 (LGITe) of optical quality; its structure was established,
and the spectroscopic properties were studied. LGITe crystallizes
in a tetragonal chalcopyrite-like (I4̅2d) structure at 667 ± 5 °C. Crystals are transparent
in the 0.76–14.8 μm spectral region with some absorption
bands related to OH/H2O and Ge–O vibrations. Analysis
of the Tauc plots showed that LGITe is a direct band gap semiconductor

“…3b). 28,32,42,43 The reason why the title compound exhibits a wide transmission range is as follows: In general, the frequency of lattice vibrations depends on the atomic mass and the bond length negatively. The heavier the atom and longer the bond length in the crystal, the lower the vibrational frequency will be.…”
Exploring mid- and far-infrared (MFIR) and even terahertz (THz) birefringent crystal with a large optical anisotropy remains a great challenge. Herein, a novel THz birefringent material Ba6In2Ge2Te15, which contains the...

In this work, Ba2HgTe5, as the first compound identified in the Ba/Hg/Te system, has been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group pnma and exhibits...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
