Researches on the Growth Habit and Optical Properties of Fe^3＋ Ion Doped KDP Crystal

During the process of KDP crystal growth,metal ions strongly affect the growth habit and optical properties of KDP single crystal. In this paper,KDP crystals were grown from an aqueous solution doped with different concentration of Fe3+ dopant by traditional temperature-reduction method and "point-seed" rapid growth method. Furthermore,we examined the light scatter and measured the transmission of these KDP crystals. It is found that the dopant of Fe3+ ion can improve the stability of the KDP growth solution when its concentration is less than 30 ppm. The effects of Fe3+ ion on the growth habit and optical properties of KDP crystal are also obvious.

Theoretical Investigations on the Electronic and Optical Properties of Luminescent Poly（alkylthiophene-co-pyridine）

Quantum-chemical techniques were applied to investigate a series of conjugated polymers： poly（3-octylthien-2,5-ylene-co-pyrid-2,6-ylene） （pl）, poly[pyrid-2,6-ylenebis（3-octylthien-2,5-ylene）] （p2） and poly[pyrid-2,5-ylenebis（3-octylthien-2,5-ylene）] （p3） comprising alternating n-excessive 3-alkylthiophene and n-deficient meta- or para-linked pyridine moieties. Their ground state and excited state structures were optimized with density functional theory B3LYP method, and the optical properties were calculated by the time-dependent density functional theory （TD-DFT） and ZINDO/S methods. Their HOMO-LUMO gaps （An-L）, the lowest excitation energies （Eex）, ionization potentials （IP） and electron affinities （EA） were obtained by extrapolating those of the polymers to the inverse chain length equal to zero （1/n=0）. The calculated results showed that the decrease of pyridylene content increased the HOMO level and decreased the LUMO level while the para-linkage further contributed to it. The IP are in the order： p1〉p2〉p3 but EA are： p1〈p2〈p3. In addition, the decrease of the pyridylene content and the para-linked pyridylene in the backbone of the polythiophene resulted in a narrowed energy gap and bathochromic absorption and emission peaks.

Solid-state reaction of praseodymium （III） oxide,K2CO3 and MoO3 at high temperature leads to a potassium lanthanide double molybdate,namely,KPr（MoO4）2.

It features the famous scheelite-type structure （CaWO4）,which can be thought as the substitution of two Ca^2＋ ions in CaWO4 by a couple of K^＋ and Pr^3＋ ions in a statistical manner,and W^6＋ by Mo^6＋ cations.     

Growth and Crystal Structure of YbAl3（BO3）4

1 INTRODUCTION With the development of high power InGaAs laser diode (LD) as pump sources, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have received much attention. Due to the simple energy level structure of the Yb3+ ions, the Yb3+-doped laser crystals have no concentration quenching, and have high quantum efficiency and low quantum defects even at high doping concentration of the Yb3+ ions[1, 2]. Therefore, the Yb3+-doped crystals are good candidates of media in the LD-pumped solid-state laser,…     

Theoretical Study on the Structural and Electronic Properties of the Reduced SnO2 （110） Surface

The reduced SnO2(110) surface has been investigated by using first-principles method with a slab model. By examining the vacancy formation energy of three kinds of reduced SnO2(110) surfaces, the most energetically favorable defect surface is confirmed to be the surface with the coexistence of bridging and in-plane oxygen vacancies, which is different with the traditional model by only removing bridging oxygen. The results of band structure calculations indicate that the electronic structure of this defect surface is similar to the SnO surface.

Luminescence Properties and Crystal Growth of Er/Yb Codoped KGd（WO4）2

1 INTRODUCTION In recent years much interest has been shown in the radiation laser around 1.54 μm for optical com- munications, medical and eye-safe light detecting and ranging applications[1～3]. Emission in the 1.54 μm range can be achieved with Er3 ion through 4I13/2→4I15/2, but the LD-pumping laser efficiency is commonly low owing to the weak absorption in- tensity of Er3 ion. Yb3 ion is often used as a sen- sitizer ion to increase the absorption light and then transfer the en…     

Electronic Structures and Optical Properties of HgGa_2X_4 （X=S,Se,Te）Semiconductors

The first-principles density functional calculations are performed to study the geometries and electronic structures of HgGa2X4（X = S,Se,Te） semiconductors with defect chalcopyrite structures,and the optical properties of all crystals are investigated systematically.The results indicate that these compounds have similar band structures and the band gap decreases from S to Se to Te.For the linear optical properties,three crystals show good light transmission in the IR and part visible regions,and in particular,HgGa2S4 and HgGa2Se4 crystals possess moderate birefringence.For the nonlinear optical properties,these crystals have stronger second harmonic generation（SHG）,and are theoretically predicted to have larger second-order static SHG coefficients（ 30 pm/V）.The SHG of HgGa2X4（X = S,Se,Te） semiconductors can be attributed to the transitions from the bands near the top of valence band derived from X（X = S,Se,Te） p states to the unoccupied bands contributed by the p states of Ga atoms.Our results indicate that the HgGa2S4 and HgGa2Se4 compounds are good candidates for nonlinear optical crystals in the IR region.

Theoretical Investigation on the Second-order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Chiral Amino Acid Zinc（Ⅱ） Porphyrins

Static second-order nonlinear optical effects of amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins 1, 2,3 and 4 were calculated by the TDHF/PM3 method based on the molecular structures optim.zed at the semiempirical PM3 quantum chemistry level, showing due to the cancellation of symmetric center, these amino acid zinc(H) porphyrins exhibit second order nonlinear optical response. The analysis of β components indicated that these amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins are of multipolarizabilities, and they may be ascribed as the “mixture” of octupolar and dipoar molecules with ||βJ=3||/||βJ=1||≈5. It is found that there are no significant differences between the static β values of non-chiral and chiral amino acid zinc(Ⅱ) porphyrins. However, the βxyz component, which is quite important to quadratic macroscopic X^(2) susceptibility of chiral material, is increased significantly with the increase of side chain group of amino acids.
