Abstract
We have investigated the static (ω = 0) and frequency-dependent nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the M@C N endohedrals (M = Li, Ca, Sc, N = 60 and 70) using the SSH (Su–Schrieffer–Heeger) approximation and sum-over-state (SOS) approach. Also, we study the effects of displacement and alkali, alkaline earth and lanthanide metal atoms and type of cage on the hyperpolarisabilities of the M@C N endohedrals. The hyperpolarisability magnitudes and spectra are in agreement with experiment and the work of others using the SSH approximation. Our results indicate that the cage-type effect on the NLO spectra of M@C N endohedrals is dramatic. Also, atom type has little effect on the highest peak value. These relationships between the atom and cage type and hyperpolarisability values may be beneficial to experimentalists when designing new NLO materials with large NLO responses.
