Charge transfer interaction and nonlinear optical properties of barium chloride and thiourea complexes: a vibrational spectroscopic study

The nonlinear optical (NLO) semiorganic crystals barium thiourea chloride (BTC), bis(thiourea)barium chloride (BTBC) and barium(tetrakisthiourea) chloride (BTTC) were grown by the slow evaporation technique. FT‐Raman and IR spectra of the crystallized NLO materials were recorded and analyzed. The equilibrium geometry, bonding features and harmonic vibrational wavenumbers were investigated with the help of B3LYP density functional theory (DFT) method. From the optimized geometry, the decrease in C N bond length indicates the charge delocalization over the region of the molecules. Lengthening of CS bond and the deviation of CS···Cl angles clearly show the coplanarity of the amide planes of the complexes. The lowering of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy gap appears to be the cause for its enhanced charge transfer interactions.

硅材料场致等效二阶极化率张量的研究

具有反演对称中心的硅单晶在电场作用下体内的反演对称中心消失,因而理论上应产生偶数阶非线性极化率。从理论上根据矢量与张量的作用,利用(eχf2f)=χ(3).E这一关系和张量变换理论系统地阐述了硅材料在内建电场或外加电场的作用下,具体在方向分别沿[111][、110]和[001]的电场作用下,得到的等效二阶极化率张量(eχf2f)分别与C3v、C2v和C4v点群的二阶极化率张量具有相同的形式,说明在物理性质方面,硅的对称性由Oh群在相应方向电场作用下分别被降低为C3v、C2v和C4v群,因此应该具有相应对称性晶体的二阶非线性光学性质;提出了电场E沿任意方向时硅的等效二阶极化率张量e(χf2f)的计算方法,对研究硅材料和其他具有反演对称中心材料的场致二阶非线性光学性质实验具有指导意义。     

Parton distribution functions at LO,NLO and NNLO with correlated uncertainties between orders

Sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton are reported for the leading (LO), next-to-leading (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD calculations. The parton distribution functions are determined with the HERAFitter program using the data from the HERA experiments and preserving correlations between uncertainties for the LO, NLO and NNLO PDF sets. The sets are used to study cross-section ratios and their uncertainties when calculated at different orders in QCD. A reduction of the overall theoretical uncertainty is observed if correlations between the PDF sets are taken into account for the ratio of \(WW\) di-boson to \(Z\) boson production cross sections at the LHC.     

The stabilization of unusual conformers in guest-host systems: Solid-state NMR investigations of 2-methylhexadecane in urea and thiourea

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is employed for the first time on urea and thiourea inclusion compounds (UICs and TICs) containing branched alkyl chains. In the present work,²H and¹³C NMR as well as X-ray diffraction studies of two selectively deuterated 2-methylhexadecanes in UIC and TIC are presented. An analysis of the derivedT ₁ data reveals significant differences between UICs and TICs, which can be attributed to differences in the motional features of the guest species. It is found that four different motional contributions have to be considered, namely, chain rotation, chain wobbling,trans-gauche isomerization and methyl group rotation. 2-Methylhexadecane in UIC exists in an almost all-trans conformation (gauche amount not more than 5%) and undergoes fast chain rotation (6-site jump process, activation energyE _A=16.7 kJ/mol). The analysis of the²H NMR spectra of 2-methylhexadecane-1,1′,2-d₇ in urea proves that the branched chain end exists in an eclipsed conformation. TheT ₁ data of 2-methylhexadecane-3-d₂ in thiourea can be reproduced by an overall rotation (E _A=9.8 kJ/mol) and atrans-gauche isomerization with torsional jumps around the C-3-C-4 bond (E _A=11.0 kJ/mol,gauche population=15%). As for the corresponding UIC, the²H NMR spectra of 2-methylhexadecane-1,1′,2-d₇ in TIC can be only explained by the existence of an eclipsed conformation at the branched chain end.     

The development of new borate-based UV nonlinear optical crystals

The developments of nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals in the last decade are reviewed from two aspects. In the theoretical part, on the ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential energy method, calculation of the optical responses, including the second harmonic generation coefficients, a computer-program package, and a real-space atom-cutting method are described and employed to evaluate the degree of approximation of the anionic group theory for nonlinear optical crystals. The ab initio method combined with the anionic group theory gives much more insight into the understanding of the relationship between the optical responses and microscopic structures of NLO crystals, borate-based NLO crystals in particular. In the experimental part, we describe how to use the anionic group theory method and an experimental evaluation system to develop a series of borate-based UV-NLO crystals such as KBe₂BO₃F₂ (KBBF) and K₂Al₂B₂O₇ (KABO). The capability of these new UV-NLO crystals in producing deep-UV harmonic output is evaluated and determined. Finally, recent advances in the generation of deep- and vacuum-UV harmonic output with these new NLO crystals are reported. PACS 42.65.Ky; 42.70.Mp     

Electronic structure of amino acids and ureas

The outer electronic levels of glycine, alanine, glycine ethyl ester, urea, and thiourea have been investigated by means of photoelectron spectroscopy using He I (584 Å) and He II (304 Å) radiation and CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculations. In the amino acids the molecular orbital (MO) ordering ha been found to be [σ core and carbonyl π > a″(O) a′(O) > a″(N)] with a first ionization potential of ～8.8 eV. Glycine and alanine are foun to exist as the undissociated amino carboxylic acids rather than zwitterions in the high temperature vapor. In urea the three lowest energy molecular o are near-degenerate [σ(4b₁) ～ π(1a₂) ～ π(2b₂)] while in thiourea only the two lowest energy MO's are near-degenerate [π(1a₂ σ(4b₁) ～ π(2b₂)]. The first ionization potentials of urea and thiourea are 9.7 and 7.9 eV respectively.     

Extraction of Structure Function and Gluon Distribution Function at Low-x from Cross Section Derivative by Regge Behavior

An approximation method based on Regge behavior is presented. This new method relates the reduced cross section derivative and the structure function Regge behavior at low x. With the use of this approximation method, the C and λ parameters are calculated from the HERA reduced cross section data taken at low-x. Also, we calculate the structure functions F₂(x,Q²) even for low-x values, which have not been investigated. To test the validity of calculated structure functions, we find the gluon distribution function in the Leading order approximation based on Regge behaviour of structure function and compare to the NLO QCD fit to H1 data and NLO parton distribution function.     

Comments on: “Crystal growth and comparison of vibrational and thermal properties of semi-organic nonlinear optical materials”

In Pramana – J. Phys.75, 683 (2010), Gunasekaran et al reported that they have grown the nonlinear optical crystals, urea thiourea mercuric chloride (UTHC) and urea thiourea mercuric sulphate (UTHS). We argue that UTHC and UTHS are dubious crystals and are not what the authors propose.     

Infrared absorption-edges of molecular nonlinear optical crystals: an <Emphasis Type="Italic">ab initio</Emphasis> calculation

A theoretical model suitable for calculating infrared absorption-edges of molecular nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals is introduced from high-level calculations of molecular vibrational spectra. The model is useful for elucidating the relationship between the molecular vibration and macroscopic absorption edges on the IR side of organic nonlinear optical crystals. The first-principle ab initio method carries out the calculations of IR absorption-edges of several typical molecular NLO crystals. These molecular NLO crystals include urea, 2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA), meta-dinotrobenzene (MDNB), 3-methyl-4-methooxy-4^′-nitrostilbene (MMONS), and 3-hydroxyl-4^′-nitrostilbene (HMONS). The calculated results are compared with the measurements and good agreement is found between them. The experimentally unknown values of IR absorption-edges of some new synthesized crystals are predicted. The theoretical analyses of the structural origins of IR absorption cut-offs are discussed. The results are helpful for the molecular simulation and design of potential infrared molecular NLO crystals.
