NLO in correlation of phase transition and the alkaline metal environment effect on it in KDP family

Abstract The NaH 2 (P 0.48 As 0.52 )O 4 ·H 2 O (NDAP) compounds allow favorable conditions to the study of evolution of the NLO response during the non-centrosymmetry phases transitions. In fact, NDAP shows the existence of three reversible non-centrosymmetry phase transitions between 272 and 313 K. These experiments are good tools for probing phase transitions and their nature. In this process, several experiments are useful to reveal not only an agreement between the thermal and the quadratic nonlinear (NLO) studies, but also an attempt amongst other things to correlate the probable effect of the alkaline environment of the KDP family on the effectiveness of the NLO intensity.
