Influence of metallic substitution on the physical properties of nickel mercury thiocyanate nonlinear optical crystal

Synthesis, growth and characterization of NaAl(SO4)·H2O triangular prism single crystal for inorganic NLO application

“…In most of semiorganic crystals, we can find strong metal-ligand bond which permits the complex grown crystals to achieve good quality, with high nonlinearity and molecular engineering features [4]. The advantage of choosing metal complexes results in a large variety of structural modifications, high environmental stability and a much greater diversity of tunable opto-electronic properties [5,6]. However, these semi-organic crystals have some disadvantages.…”
