Abstract:
A noncentrosymmetric adduct, SbI3·(S8)3, is obtained by a facile solution method. It crystallizes in the trigonal space group R3 m, and its structure features van der Waals force connected, isolated trigonal-pyramidal SbI3 and chairlike S8 units. SbI3·(S8)3 exhibits strong second-harmonic-generation responses around 4 times that of KH2PO4 (1.064 μm) and 1 times that of AgGaS2 (AGS; 2.1 μm) at 210-250 μm, respectively. Under both laser-radiation wavelengths, it exhibits type I phase-matching behavior. Its laser-induced damage threshold is measured to be around 26 times that of AGS under 1.064 μm. To better understand these optical data, theoretical calculations are performed to address its electronic structure and optical properties.

Harmonic Mean
Take the example of the speed of a car, which is the measure of the rate of distance traveled. If the vehicle traverses the same distance back-and-forth, its average speed equals the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. However, if the car moves with varying speeds, then the arithmetic mean is more skewed...

Nonlinear drug absorption can occur when the process is rate-limited by solubility, carrier-mediated transport systems, or saturation of the presystemic gut wall or hepatic metabolism. For instance, high doses of riboflavin...

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
