The accurate X ray diffraction study of a Sr 3 Ga 2 Ge 4 O 14 crystal was performed based on two X ray diffraction data sets collected on a diffractometer equipped with a CCD area detector (a = 8.2776(2), c = 5.0415(1) Å, sp. gr. P321, Z = 1, R/wR = 0.78/0.69%, 3645 independent reflections). The structure of Sr 3 Ga 2 Ge 4 O 14 is characterized by the presence of two mixed cation sites, which is accompanied by the anhar monic motion not only of cations, but also of two oxygen atoms in general positions.

“…It does not show a phase transition from room temperature to its melting point.

Langatate ͑La 3 Ta 0.5 Ga 5.5 O 14 , LTG͒ single crystal has been one of the promising candidate piezoelectric materials in high temperature applications because of its structural stability at high temperature. However, it has been reported that compositions of LTG grown by the Czochralski method deviates from the ideal stoichiometry to Ta-poor and Ga-rich material. In this work, to elucidate the energetic stability of defects and their influences on electronic properties, defect formation energies, and electronic properties were calculated for perfect and defective LTG crystals by using first-principles calculations. The results with oxygen-rich assumption showed that Ga substitution on Ta site and Ta vacancy were the most energetically stable defects among various acceptor-like defects under low and high Fermi energy region, respectively. The most stable cation vacancy V Ta ЈЈЈЈЈ could affect the electronic and optical properties of the LTG crystal, as the band gap of a crystal with V Ta ЈЈЈЈЈ has a smaller gap than other defects.

Electron‐Lattice Synergistic Coordination for Boosting the Electro‐Optic Response of the Crystal

The electro‐optic (E‐O) response is fundamental where the refractive index of materials can be modulated by the external electric field. Up to now, E‐O modulation has become a critical technology in photonics, quantum optics, modern communication, etc. However, the design of E‐O crystals with broadband availabilities and large E‐O effect is still challenging since the E‐O response is contributed by both electrons and phonons. Here, an electron‐lattice synergistic coordination strategy is proposed for boosting the E‐O response, and with the langasite as the subject, a novel crystal La3Zr0.5Ga5Si0.5O14 (LZGS) is designed. By the rational introduction of the Zr4+ ion in the octahedral site, it is found that the E‐O response can be obviously improved attributed to the active 4d orbitals of the Zr4+ ion and the optical phonons of the flexible (ZrO6) unit. This crystal also has advantages in transparency, laser damage threshold and E‐O coefficient compared with the well‐known E‐O crystals. Moreover, broadband E‐O modulation is also demonstrated in the lasers at wavelengths from 639 to 1991 nm. These findings not only demonstrate an excellent E‐O crystal for the development of modern devices in classical and quantum fields but also provide a design strategy for boosting the E‐O response.
