It crystallizes in the polar space group Fdd2 (No. 43) with the unit cell parameters ofa=12.945(3) A, b=23.556(5) A, c=7.2774(15)/k and Z=8. In its structure, Zn-centered penta-tetrahedra [ZnSn4S15]Z2- clusters arrange regularly along the diagonals of ab and ac planes to form a 3D tunnel structure with charge-balanced Na+ cations located inside the tunnels. Note that SnS4 tetrahedra connect with each other by sharing comers to form infinite ∞[SnS3]n chains that are rarely found in known alkali-thiostannates. Remarkably, NazZnSnzS6 exhibits the good NLO performances, such as large SHG response (4 times that of AgGaS2 at 55-88 μm under the 2.09 μm radiation), wide infrared (IR) transmission region (0.35-25 μm) and relatively high laser damage threshold (77.5 MW/cm2, -2 times that of AgGaS2). Theoretical calculations have also been performed to investigate the structure-property relationship and the results indicate that the origin of NLO effect can be attributed to the penta-tetrahedra [ZnSn4S15]12- clusters.展开更多
