The reactionbetweenCuI and HgClBr in the solidstate has been studied by resistivitymeasurements, X-ray diffraction, and chemical analysis. The reaction occurs differently at different molar ratios. The kinetics of the reaction has been studied by a visual technique. The reaction follows the usual rate law, Xπ = kt. The k's show the Arrhenius dependence. The activation energy, 43.30 ± 0.53 kJ/mol
This paper reports the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) property of HgBrI for the first time. The compound was re-synthesized with a new synthetic method by combining the individual solution of stoichiometric amounts of HgBr2 and I-2 in acetone. The compound exhibits a strong phase-matchable second harmonic generation (SHG) property about 1.4 times stronger than KTiOPO4 (KTP) based on the powder SHG measurement. It also shows wide transparency in the infrared region from 0.46 to 40 mu m and good thermal stability with decomposition temperature at about 200 degrees C. All these properties indicate that HgBrI is a promising new candidate for NLO materials in the IR region. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
