| Abstract | |
Nonlinear optical characterization of nanostructured layered transition metal dichalcogenides (LTMDs) is of fundamental interest for basic knowledge and applied purposes. In particular, second-order optical nonlinearities are the basis for second harmonic generation as well as sum or difference frequency generation and have been studied in some 2D TMDs, especially in those with a semiconducting character. Here we report, for the first time, on the second-order nonlinearity of the semi-metallic ZrTe2 monolayer in acetonitrile suspension (concentration of 4.9 x 10(10) particles per cm(3)), synthesized via a modified redox exfoliation method and characterized using the Hyper-Rayleigh scattering technique in the nanosecond regime. The orientation-averaged first-hyperpolarizability was found to be beta(2 omega) = (7.0 +/- 0.3) x 10(-24) esu per ZrTe2 monolayer flake, the largest reported so far. Polarization-resolved measurements were performed in the monolayer suspension and indicate the dipolar origin of the generated incoherent second harmonic wave. (AU) | |
