Abstract

Balancing the wide band gap, large second harmonic generation (SHG) response, and moderate birefringence are significant but addressable challenges for designing nonlinear optical (NLO) materials. Based on the band-gap engineering in perovskite solar cell materials, we have successfully synthesized a new fluorotellurite, BaF2TeF2(OH)2, which exhibits a pseudo-Aurivillius structure and crystallizes in a noncentrosymmetric and polar space group Pmn21. The physical property measurements show that this material can effectively balance the requirements among the short UV absorption edge (∼205 nm), large SHG response (∼3 × KDP) and moderate birefringence (∼0.078@350-700 nm) and is a promising ultraviolet NLO crystal.
