Could you recommend commercially-available powder materials of large second-order electrosusceptibility? I intend to spin coat it on a glass plate and use it for beam alignments in vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopy.
In most cases for beam alignment you would use a thin or thick quartz crystal which both have broad intense SFG spectra (the thin gives a larger signal than the thick) for rough alignment, then use a DMSO sample which has a relatively large SFG signal for a liquid/air interface for fine tuning your alignment.
