AbstractWe have synthesized several metal xanthate complexes from metal salts and xanthate potassium salts. Powders of several of the materials were sorted and tested for their nonlinear optical properties. Cadmium xanthate demonstrated phase matchability for frequency doubling of 1.06 micron light and generated a very strong second harmonic signal.

A comparative study of the second harmonic generation in ZnO micro particles and nanorods has been experimentally studied by Kurtz technique using nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The results have been theoretically explained by taking into account the quadrupole moment as well as surface nonlinearity. It was observed that the nanorods yield polarized second harmonic signal while the second harmonic signal obtained from the micro particles was unpolarized.

ABSTRACTHydrazone, 1,1-dimethylhydrazone, methylhydrazone, phenylhydrazone and p-nitrophenyl hydrazone derivatives of substituted aromatic aldehydes were prepared and screened for second harmonic generation using the Kurtz powder technique. One compound, 4-nitro-3-methoxybenzaldehyde hydrazone exhibited a second harmonic signal up to 32 times that of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) and 4-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone exhibited a second harmonic signal five times higher than previously reported, up to 40 times that of ADP. 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde phenylhydrazone, 1-naphthaldehyde phenylhydrazone, 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone exhibited second harmonic signals 25, 2.5, 5 and 20 times that of an ADP standard.

AbstractA large nonlinear magneto-optical effect is observed in a non-centrosymmetric Fe/AlGaAs (001) heterostructure. This effect is a direct consequence of interference between second-harmonic optical waves of magnetic and crystallographic origin, generated at ferromagnetic Fe interface and bulk AlGaAs, respectively. The longitudinal nonlinear Kerr rotation is measured to be 1.6° along the [1-10] hard axis, about two orders of magnitude stronger than the linear equivalent. The rotational second-harmonic signal shows large magnetic contrast along all the in-plane directions, demonstrating a high sensitivity to the magnetization of an anisotropic interface in the longitudinal geometry.

The basic structural unit of the 1:1 co-crystal of 2-amino-5-nitro-1,3-thiazole with 4-aminobenzoic acid, [(2-antz)(4-aba)], comprises two constituent molecules associated by a hydrogen-bonded R2 2(8) graph set dimer through the carboxylic group across the N/N site of the thiazole [O–H···N, 2.614(3) Å; N–H···O, 2.991(3) Å]. Additional hydrogen-bonding associations from the three remaining amino hydrogen atoms construct a non-centrosymmetric packing lattice (space group: P21). The bulk ungraded powder exhibits a second harmonic signal of I/Iurea= 5.7. Manuscript received: 16 July 2001. Final version: 9 November 2001.
