The analysis of the NLO properties of 4-methoxy-1-naphthol (4M1N) reveals that this molecule has the value of polarizability tensor, α, more than 340% greater than that obtained, at the same level of theory, for urea molecule. This improvement grows to 500% when the second-order hyperpolarizability is considered. Calculations performed within LR-PC...

A series of glasses of the composition 20Na2O–15CaO–5B2O3–5SiO2–(55 – x) P2O5:xMnO2, was prepared and characterized by XRD, DSC, SEM, and Raman techniques. The samples were later immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for checking the potential growth of hydroxyapatite layer (HA). Experiments confirmed that addition of manganese oxide leads to struct...
