Raman Spectra and Crystallographic Properties of a New NLO Material,ZnCd(SCN)_4 Crystal

摘要

The crystallographic properties and R aman spectra of the title compound ZnCd(SCN) 4, which is a new nonlinear optica l crystal(NLO), are reported for the first time. This crystal is orthorhombic and its space group is I - 4 with unit cell parameters a =1.113 5(0.2) nm, c =0.437 60(1) nm. There are two formulas per unit cell. Raman spectra of zinc cadmium thiocyanatec (ZCTC) are given and the electron activities in the crystal are shown.
