ABSTRACTThe layered MIIPS3 compounds posess a unique cation exchange intercalation chemistry, which allows the synthesis of a wide range of air stable M1-xPS3G2x intercalates (G stands here for a Monocation). The positive charge of the guest cations is counterbalanced by intralayer metallic vacancies.Intercalation exerts a dramatic influence on the magnetic properties of these compounds. Whereas pristine MPS3 compounds order antiferromagnetically (M = Mn, Fe‥), Many intercalates become magnets below an ordering temperature that can be as high as 92 K. The role of intercalation is discussed in terms of the creation of intralayer metallic vacancies, which destroy the spin balance that prevails in pristine MPS3 compounds.The MPS3 host lattice has the capability of causing spontaneous poling of the dimethylamino-N-Methyl stilbazolium chromophore (DAMS), leading to materials that exhibit strong second harmonic generation. (SHG). Inserting DAMS into MnPS3 therefore leads to a composite that possess both spontaneous Magnetization (below Tc = 40 K) and a strong efficiency for SHG.

We have studied the parallel and perpendicular electric field effects on the system of SiGe prolate and oblate quantum dots numerically, taking into account the wetting layer and quantum dot size effects. Using the effective-mass approximation in the two bands model, we computationally calculated the extensive variation of dipole matrix (DM) elements, bandgap and non-linear optical properties, including absorption coefficients, refractive index changes, second harmonic generation and third harmonic generation as a function of the electric field, wetting layer size and the size of the quantum dot. The redshift is observed for the non-linear optical properties with the increasing electric field and an increase in wetting layer thickness. The sensitivity to the electric field toward the shape of the quantum dot is also observed. This study is resourceful for all the researchers as it provides a pragmatic model by considering oblate and prolate shaped quantum dots by explaining the optical and electronic properties precisely, as a consequence of the confined stark shift and wetting layer.
