A new polar ammonium tungsten tellurite, (NH4)(2)Te2WO8, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The material was synthesized hydrothermally, using NH4OH, WO3, and TeO2 as reagents, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. (NH4)2Te2WO8 crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric (NCS) polar monoclinic space group P2(1) (No. 4) with a = 6.9716(9) A, b = 7.0279(9) A, c = 9.4593(13) A, and beta = 99.188(2)degrees. The material exhibits a two-dimensional structure consisting Of WO6 octahedra connected to TeO4 polyhedra. Both the W6+ and the Te4+ cations are in asymmetric coordination environments attributable to second-order Jahn-Teller (SOJT) effects. (NH4)2Te2WO8 is NCS; thus second-harmonic generation (SHG) measurements were performed. SHG experiments, using 1064 mn radiation, revealed an efficiency of approximately 250 x (alpha-SiO2. As (NH4)2Te2WO8 is also polar, ferroelectric and pyroelectric measurements were performed. A ferroelectric hysteresis loop (polarization vs electric field) was observed, indicating the dipole moment in (NH4)2Te2WO8 is switchable". A spontaneous polarization (P-s) of 0.19 mu C/cm(2) was measured. In addition, the pyroelectric coefficient (total effect), p, was determined to be -0.22 mu C/m(2)center dot K at 50 degrees C.
