Materials Chemistry & Physics 39 (4) : 298-303. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | A mixed metal nido-cluster, (n-Bu4N)2[MoCu3OS3(NCS) 3], was discovered to exhibit large third-order polarizability (γ) and optical limiting effect. This is the first example of a nest-shaped compound with large nonlinear optical coefficients. The magnitude of the third-order polarizability, |γ|= 4.8 × 10-29 esu, was determined with 7-ns laser pulses of 532 nm wavelength by a degenerate four-wave mixing technique. An irradiance-dependent transmission measurement was conducted to assess the contribution of nonlinear absorption to the γ value. These results, in combination with those of a Z-scan experiment, yielded a negative value for the real part of γ, Reγ = -4.8 × 10-29 esu. The negative sign of Reγ reveals that the nido-cluster has an interesting optical self-defocusing property. The optical limiting effect of the cluster was also demonstrated. © 1995. | Source Title: | Materials Chemistry & Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/81254 | ISSN: | 02540584 |
