A Comparative Study on Solution- and Bridgman-Grown Single Crystals of Benzimidazole by High-Resolution X-ray Diffractometry, Fourier Transform Infrared, Microhardness, Laser Damage Threshold, and Second-Harmonic Generation Measurements

From CuFeS2, the introduction of Ge leads to an increase in band gap. The ordered arrangement of NLO active units [GeS4] results in a strong SHG response. Finally, Ba6Cu2FeGe4S16 exhibits good NLO performance (SHG, 1.5 × AgGaSe2; LDT, 2 × AgGaSe2).

Single crystals of L-tartaric acid (LTA), an organic nonlinear optical material, have been grown using a home-built crystal growth setup (the Moovendaran–Kalyanasundar–Natarajan setup). Crystals of LTA were also grown by the slow evaporation solution technique. These single crystals were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and IR and UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy. In addition, measurements of Vickers microhardness, laser damage threshold value and second harmonic generation efficiency are reported. Thermal, dielectric and photoluminescence studies were also carried out.

Slow evaporation was used to successfully generate single crystals of pure and La3+ doped L-alanine acetate from aqueous solution. The structural, vibrational, chemical analysis carried out through XRD, UV, FTIR with FTRaman Analysis. The Nd: YAG laser was used to confirm and estimate the sample’s Second Harmonic Generation (SHG). The growing crystal’s laser damage threshold was also discovered. Thermogravimetic (TG) and Differential theromogravimetric (DTA) studies were used to measure the thermal stability of the formed crystal. The generated LAlA crystals were also subjected to dielectric and photoconductivity tests. The dopant has boosted the efficiency of the L-alanine acetate crystal, according to nonlinear optical studies.
