Achieving balanced UV SHG response, optical band gap and birefringence in rare earth compounds Ln(IO3)(SO4)·3H2O (Ln = Y, Gd, Er, Ho, Dy, Eu)

A series of rare earth iodate sulfate UV compounds, Ln(IO3)(SO4)·3H2O (Ln = Y, Gd, Er, Ho, Dy, Eu), have been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method at 200 °C. These isostructural...
