Summary: Researchers report a new synthetic route to prepare LaBS3, a crystal with excellent mid-infrared nonlinear optical properties. The experimental results show that LaBS3 exhibits a large second-harmonic generation effect, high laser induced-damage threshold, wide band gap, wide infrared transmission range, and high thermal stability. Theoretical calculations suggest that the large second-harmonic generation effect of this material originates from the synergy effects of the pi-conjugated [BS3](3-) anions and [LaS9](15-) groups.

Summary: A new tungsten oxyfluoride crystal, K2(H2O)WO3F2, with O/F orientationally order has been successfully synthesized. The distorted [WO4F2] octahedra in this crystal are induced by trigonal [K2(H2O)]2+ motifs into an oriented arrangement. K2(H2O)WO3F2 exhibits the strongest phase-matching SHG response and the highest laser damage threshold among reported transition-metal oxyfluorides, which is attributed to the uniform alignment of the distorted [WO4F2] octahedra.

Summary: Metal chalcogenides, particularly the isostructural Sn-based chalcogenides BaZnSnQ(4) (Q = S, Se), have shown good SHG effects and higher laser-induced damage thresholds compared to AgGaS2. Their structures are built by NLO functional motifs ZnQ(4) and SnQ(4) tetrahedra. The synergetic effect of large distorted tetrahedral units is believed to be the source of the SHG responses in these materials, providing a route to obtain new infrared NLO materials.

Summary: In this paper, the mechanism and condition for the second-order optical responses of time-reversal symmetric superconductors were studied. The results showed characteristic photocurrent and second harmonic generation in the superconducting state. However, the superconductivity-induced nonlinear optical responses disappeared under certain conditions on pair potential. The coexistence of intraband and interband pairing and the superconducting Berry curvature factor were found to be essential for the second-order superconducting optical responses.

Summary: Modulating the electronic interaction between metal and support is an effective strategy to improve the electrocatalytic performance of supported-type catalysts. In this study, a Ni2P@B, N-GC electrocatalyst was synthesized, and the main mechanism by which B atom doping enhances electrocatalytic HER performance was elucidated. The B atoms not only modulate the electronic structure on carbon skeleton but also regulate the interfacial electronic interaction between Ni2P nanoparticles and the carbon skeleton, leading to increased electron density of Ni sites and promoting reactive activity. The Ni2P@B, N-GC catalyst exhibited superior performance over the Ni2P@N-GC catalyst in different media, and the assembled Ni(OH)2@B, N-GC||Ni2P@B, N-GC electrolyzer showed remarkable overall water splitting performance in alkaline solution and natural seawater electrolyte. Therefore, B atom doping strategy significantly enhances HER electrocatalysis.

Summary: We investigate the interface properties between WSi2N4 and Mo2B, O-modified Mo2B, and OH-modified Mo2B nanosheets. We find that WSi2N4 and Mo2B form n-type Schottky contacts, while functionalizing Mo2B with O and OH leads to the formation of both n-type and p-type ohmic contacts with WSi2N4. Additionally, we demonstrate the emergence of quasi-ohmic contact with ultralow lateral Schottky barrier and zero vertical interfacial tunneling barriers in Mo2B(OH)2-contacted WSi2N4.

Summary: When rare-earth ions are embedded in a ferroelectric material, their photoluminescence can serve as an all-optical probe for temperature, electric field, and mechanical stimulus. However, the impact of ferroelectric phase transitions on photoluminescence is not well understood. In this study, we demonstrate changes in the photoluminescence of green emission bands during critical ferroelectric transitions in an Er-doped BaTiO3 material. We also find that the intensity ratio and wavelength position difference of sub-peaks provide information on the phase transitions.
