Abstract:The controllable growth of non-centrosymmetric metal organic framework (MOF) beyond the conventional micrometer crystal dimensions would represent an enabling step in the development of MOF-based devices for coherent nonlinear optics. This goal has been elusive so far, as MOF crystal typical self-assemble under metastable synthesis conditions that have several competing crystallization pathways open, and only a modest amount of external control over the crystal nucleation and growth rates is currently possible… Show more
“…The predicted band gaps E G for the MOFs studied in this work are given in Table I. The predicted band gap for MIRO 101 agrees well with recent experiments [48]. We also compute the band gap of IRMOF-1, to compare with experiments and previous calculations in the literature [49][50][51].…”
The discovery and design of new materials with competitive optical frequency conversion efficiencies can accelerate the development of scalable photonic quantum technologies.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
