Optical anisotropy of A2B4C25 crystals

Growth and characterization of large CdSiP2 single crystals

“…They can, however, be plagued by defect related absorption losses near the band edge when grown from the melt, but these can often be eliminated by post-growth processing. CdSiP 2 is a II-IV-V 2 compound that has been examined by several authors starting in the late 1960s [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Borshchevskii et al [5] reported halogen assisted vapor transport growth of the compound as early as 1967, and Spring-Thorpe and Pamplin [4] reported growth from molten tin solution in 1968.…”

First principles studies of elastic, electronic and optical properties of chalcopyrite semiconductor ZnSnP2

“…Apart from it, the other important technological applications of these materials are in light emitting diodes, infrared detectors, infrared oscillations, lasers, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Nonlinear, dispersive, and phase-matching properties of the new chalcopyrite CdSiP_2 [Invited]

“…CSP is optically negative uniaxial chalcopyrite so that non-critical type-I (oo-e) phasematching is possible in contrast to the positive ZnGeP 2 (ZGP) which is the only commercially available II-IV-V 2 type chalcopyrite. The birefringence, (n e -n o ), of CSP was found to be -0.06 approaching a wavelength of 6 µm [2], -0.051 near 2 µm [7], -0.05 at 1 µm [5], and -0.045 at 840 nm [3] in earlier work. An isotropic point, i.e.…”

“…The nonlinear optical crystal CdSiP 2 (CSP) belongs to the tetragonal point group 42m , with lattice constants a = 5.68Å, c = 10.431 Å, and Z = 4 for the unit cell parameters [1]. It was grown in the past in small sizes that did not allow measurement of essential physical properties [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
