Abstract

Single crystals of Na₂Te₃Mo₃O₁₆, with sizes up to 23 × 5 × 4 mm³, have been successfully grown by the top-seeded solution growth method for the first time. Na₂Te₃Mo₃O₁₆ crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric monoclinic space group I2 with cell parameters a = 7.3130(15) Å, b = 11.236(2) Å, c = 8.2171(16) Å, and β = 97.26(3)° and Z = 2. The crystal is transparent in the wavelength range of 0.42–5.4 μm. In addition, band structure and density of states calculations for Na₂Te₃Mo₃O₁₆ were carried out using the total-energy code CASTEP, based on density functional theory.
