Article Synopsis
- Polar crystalline materials are highly valued due to their unique properties, such as being pyroelectric, piezoelectric, and capable of second-harmonic generation (SHG).
- While metal oxides are commonly used for these applications, they come with drawbacks like high-temperature processing and toxic metals; in contrast, organic polar crystals can be processed in solution and avoid toxins.
- Research revealed that Cl-TAA and Br-TAA form polar crystals with confirmed piezoelectric and SHG properties, and their ability to create solid solutions could allow for customizable material properties.
