Abstract
Cyclo[18]carbon has received considerable attention thanks to its novel geometric configuration and special electronic structure.Superalkalis have low ionization energy.Doping a superalkali in cyclo[18]carbon is an effective method to improve the optical properties of the system because considerable electron transfer occurs.In this paper,the geometry,bonding properties,electronic structure,absorption spectrum,and nonlinear optical(NLO)properties of superalkaline M3O(M=Li,Na)-doped cyclo[18]carbon were studied by using density functional theory.M3O and the C18 rings are not coplanar.The C18 ring still exhibits alternating long and short bonds.The charge transfer between M3O and C18 forms stable[M3O]+[C18]-ionic complexes.C18M3O(M=Li,Na)shows striking optical nonlinearity,i.e.,their first-and second-order hyperpolarizability(βvec and γ||)increase considerably at λ=1907 nm and 1460 nm.
