    Nonresonant EFISH and THG studies of nonlinear optical property and molecular structure relations of benzene, stilbene, and other arene derivatives

    Get PDF
    D.c. elec. field induced 2nd-harmonic generation (EFISH) and 3rd-harmonic generation (THG) measurement results are reported on the intrinsic mol. hyperpolarizabilities of benzenes, stilbenes, and other arene derivs. Structure-property relations, as revealed by a comprehensive set of systematic measurements, are discussed. Issues concerning donor-acceptor strength; charge-transfer; transparency trade-off; conjugation planarity, length, and aromaticity; and heteroatom and side-group substitution effects are included

    Laser induced breakdown of the magnetic field reversal symmetry in the propagation of unpolarized light

    Get PDF
    We show how a medium, under the influece of a coherent control field which is resonant or close to resonance to an appropriate atomic transition, can lead to very strong asymmetries in the propagation of unpolarized light when the direction of the magnetic field is reversed. We show how EIT can be used to mimic effects occuring in natural systems and that EIT can produce very large asymmetries as we use electric dipole allowed transitions. Using density matrix calculations we present results for the breakdown of the magnetic field reversal symmetry for two different atomic configurations.Comment: RevTex, 6 pages, 10 figures, Two Column format, submitted to Phys.

    Electrical magnetochiral anisotropy in a bulk chiral molecular conductor

    Get PDF
    So far, no effect of chirality on the electrical properties of bulk chiral conductors has been observed. Introduction of chiral information in tetrathiafulvalene precursors represents a powerful strategy towards the preparation of crystalline materials in which the combination of chirality and conducting properties might allow the observation of the electrical magnetochiral anisotropy effect. Here we report the synthesis by electrocrystallization of both enantiomers of a bulk chiral organic conductor based on an enantiopure tetrathiafulvalene derivative. The enantiomeric salts crystallize in enantiomorphic hexagonal space groups. Single crystal resistivity measurements show metallic behaviour for the enantiopure salts down to 40 K, in agreement with band structure calculations. We describe here the first experimental evidence of electrical magnetochiral anisotropy in these crystals, confirming the chiral character of charge transport in our molecular materials
