Abstract

X-ray structural analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance, optical spectroscopy and second harmonic generation were used to characterize the new nonlinear crystals LiInS2 and LiInSe2 which possess maximum band gap (3.59 and 2.86 eV at 300 K, respectively) among ternary chalcogenides. As grown crystals are only slightly colored while color change after annealing is due to native point defects.
