Abstract
A silicon-based noncentrosymmetric (NC) deep-ultraviolet (DUV) nonlinear optical material, Na6Si3F18, has been synthesized through a hydrothermal method. Na6Si3F18 possesses a [SiNa9F42] group, which is constructed by an isolated [SiF6] octahedron and nine distorted [NaF6] octahedra interconnected with one another to form a condensed 3D structure, which is beneficial to increase the static dielectric polarizability coefficient, which was calculated to be 4.3 times that of quartz. The first-principles calculations indicate that Na6Si3F18 possesses a very large bandgap of 10.45 eV (∼118.76 nm), which originates from the [SiF6] group and [NaF6] group and is larger than that of SrB4O7. Na6Si3F18 crystalizes in the P321 space group, and is a potential DUV nonlinear optical crystal with the addition of periodic phase match technology, which could break through the wall of 120 nm for all-solid-state lasers.
