[Abstract] Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials are critical in generating coherent light through frequency conversion, e.g., second harmonic generation (SHG). From the ultraviolet (UV) to the infrared (IR), NLO materials have expanded the range of the electromagnetic spectrum accessible by solid-state lasers. Wavelengths where NLO materials are still needed include the UV (~200 - 400nm) and deep UV (< 200nm). Coherent deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light has a variety of technologically important uses including photolithography, atto-second pulse generation, and in advanced instrument development. Design strategies will be discussed, as well as synthetic methodologies. In addition, the crystal growth, characterization, and structure-property relationships in new UV and DUV NLO materials discovered in our laboratory will be presented. Finally, our crystal growth capabilities and recent crystal growth of functional materials will be described.

[Abstract] I would like to welcome all of you to the Poeppelmeier International Symposium on Solid State Chemistry for Sustainable Development. It is wonderful to see so many of Ken’s former students and postdocs, as well as colleagues and collaborators. The symposium is in honor of the distinguished work and lifetime achievements of Prof. Kenneth R. Poeppelmeier, an internationally recognized expert in materials chemistry and has served the inorganic solid state and materials chemistry communities for over 40 years. Ken received his Ph.D. from Iowa State University in 1978 under Prof. John D. Corbett, after which he began his professional career as a Senior Staff Chemistry at Exxon Research and Development. Ken is the Charles E. & Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University. Ken is a leader and pioneer in the design, synthesis, and elucidation of structure-property relationships of mixed metal oxides and mixed anion materials. His research in Inorganic solid-state chemistry continues to have widespread use in energy-related applications across diverse fields such as heterogeneous catalysis and solar energy research. Ken’s research, which ranges from the growth of single crystals to the synthesis of new transparent conductors, emphasizes the connections between the synthesis and structure of new materials, the physical properties of new materials, and the technological advances that result from these discoveries. This symposium reflects the broad arch of Ken’s career across chemistry, physics, and material science. The overarching theme of the Poeppelmeier Symposium on Solid-State Chemistry is to think "in three dimensions" so that, and paraphrasing A.F. Wells, "we will come to regard the formation of one-, two- and three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in both molecular and non-molecular crystals as the logical result of the same processes that lead to the more familiar finite groups of atoms of ordinary chemical experience."
