title: The first quaternary diamond-like semiconductor with 10-membered LiS4rings exhibiting excellent nonlinear optical performances.
abstract: A new diamond-like semiconductor (DLS), Li4HgGe2S7, is the first example exhibiting unusual 10-membered LiS4rings in the reported quaternary sulfide DLSs. Remarkably, Li4HgGe2S7exhibits excellent performances with concurrently large NLO coefficients and impressive LDT, which satisfy the essential requirements of IR NLO candidates.
