Nanohardness Measurements of CdSiP<sub>2</sub> and ZnGeP<sub>2</sub> Chalcopyrite-Type Nonlinear Optical Crystals

Nanohardness Measurements of CdSiP<sub>2</sub> and ZnGeP<sub>2</sub> Chalcopyrite-Type Nonlinear Optical Crystals

We study the nanohardness and Young’s modulus of randomly oriented CdSiP<sub>2</sub> (CSP) and ZnGeP<sub>2</sub> (ZGP) single crystals, grown via the horizontal Bridgman method. CSP and ZGP are the only two pnictide chalcopyrites widely used as nonlinear optical crystals in t...
