Abstract
The combination of lone-pair effects on Pb(2+) cations and the smaller electronegativity of I(-) anions into the pentaborate framework generates a phase-matchable material, Pb(2)B(5)O(9)I, with the largest powder SHG response among borates, about 13.5 times that of KDP (KH(2)PO(4)), and transparency over the near-UV to middle-IR region. DFT calculations on electronic structure and cutoff-energy-dependent SHG coefficients confirm these origins.
