The present invention relates to compounds and their
nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals of A3B11P2O23 (A=K, Rb, Cs, NH4), their producing method and uses thereof. The series of compounds have a
chemical formula of A3B11P2O23 (A=K, Rb, Cs, NH4), which are namely K3B11P2O23, Rb3B11P2O23, Cs3B11P2O23 and (NH4)3B11P2O23. The series of NLO crystals having the
chemical formula of A3B11P2O23 (A=K, Rb, Cs, NH4), belong to rhombohedral
crystal system, and have a
space group of R3,
crystal cell parameters of a=b=10.016(5)-12.591(5) Å, c=12.105(6)-14.905(6) Å, Z=3. A3B11P2O23 (A=K, Rb, Cs, NH4) compounds were prepared by a
solid-state reaction method or a hydrothermal method, and A3B11P2O23 (A=K, Rb, Cs, NH4) NLO crystals were prepared by a high-temperature
solid-state reaction method, a hydrothermal method, or a solution method. T They meet the requirements for the
frequency conversion of UV
wavelength lasers and could be used to prepare
nonlinear optical devices.
