Taxonomy, chemical bonding relations and nonlinear optical properties of noncentrosymmetric sulfide crystals

A set of ~450 noncentrosymmetric sulfides has been observed in reference to nonlinear optical properties. It has been found that on the plane of the oxide bond lengths the noncentrosymmetric sulfide crystals are dominantly positioned into a rosette of two intersected ellipses of «acentricity». The strongly non-monotonic dependency of nonlinear optical susceptibility χ(2) on the shortest chemical bond length L(E,M-S) has been obtained for sulfides. The suggested crystal chemistry analysis is useful for searching new noncentrosymmetric sulfide crystals.
