“…Therefore, Zn-boracite (Zn 3 B 7 O 13 Cl) is of great promise in the direct SHG response by the birefringence phase-matching technique. On the other hand, Zn 3 B 7 O 13 Cl was always taken for a fully ferroelectric and fully ferroelastic material, which makes it a potential quasi-phase matching candidate. − Guided by the above ideas, Zn 3 B 7 O 13 Cl crystals were studied, including the preparation and optical and electrical properties. It is demonstrated that the modification of Mg 3 B 7 O 13 Cl by zinc cations exactly enhances the SHG responses and the birefringence, which will be of great significance for the design of new DUV NLO materials.…”

Nonlinear optical crystals play important roles in modern laser science and technology. However, the design and growth of new nonlinear optical (NLO) materials is still a challenging issue for researchers. Due to the excellent performance of Mg 3 B 7 O 13 Cl crystal, we paid attention to the optimization of its structure, in order to find new NLO materials with favorable properties. Here, Zn 3 B 7 O 13 Cl crystals were obtained by a hightemperature solution method. Its structure was determined to be the trigonal symmetry with a polar space group of R3c, which is more highly symmetric than that of Mg 3 B 7 O 13 Cl (Pca2 1 ). The experimental and theoretical investigations demonstrated that the title compound exhibits a short absorption cutoff (band gap ∼6.53 eV), moderate SHG responses (2.2 times that of KDP at 1064 nm), and the improved birefringence, which results from the large distortion and anisotropy of borate groups and zinc polyhedrons. Therefore, the structural modification of Mg 3 B 7 O 13 Cl by zinc cations achieves a balance between the deep-ultraviolet transparency, the nonlinear optical effect, and the moderate birefringence, which is very significant for the design of practical NLO materials.
