Abstract

E-mail: kmok@cau.ac.krReceived August 12, 2008Key Words : Bismuth chloride, Zero-dimensional structure, Synthesis, NoncentrosymmetrySince a wide variety of materials either observed in natureor synthesized by chemists exhibit a marked preference tosymmetry, it is quite difficult to find asymmetric substances.Nonetheless, discovering noncentrosymmetric (NCS) materialsis a continuing challenge in inorganic solid-state materialschemistry field. This is mainly because acentric materialscan reveal extremely important physical properties such asdielectric behavior, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, pyro-electricity, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties.
