The semi-organic 3-aminophenol-orthophosphoric acid (denoted as 3-amphph) single crystals were grown by slow evaporation solution technique with water as solvent. The resulted crystal has well-defined surface morphology and is transparent and colorless with a size of 29 × 17 × 4 mm3. The powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), NMR spectroscopic technique, UV-vis-NIR, TG/DTA and dielectric analysis are used to characterize the crystals. XRD analysis revealed that the crystal lattice of 3-amphph is orthorhombic having cell parameters a = 4.481(2) Å, b = 9.782(4) Å, c = 18.326(4) Å with non-centrosymmetric space group P 212121. Nonlinear optical studies indicated that the second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency is 2.22 times that of the standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals. Growth mechanism and surface textures of the as-grown single crystals were analyzed by chemical etching analysis.

A relative study on pure L-alanine alaninium nitrate (LAAN) single crystals and doped with lanthanum oxide, urea and glycine were developed from fluid solution by slow evaporation strategy at room temperature. X-ray diffraction result reveals that LAAN crystallites with system with space bunch P21 and cell parameters a = 7.836 Å, b = 5.428 Å, c = 12.809 Å and β = 94.25°. These parameters were marginally changes for doped crystals compared to pure LAAN crystal. The UV results recommend that the great transmission property of the doped LAAN crystal within the whole visible region guarantees its reasonableness for second harmonic generation applications. The presence of dopants within the LAAN crystal was further affirmed through ICP studies. The functional groups were analyzed through Fourier change infrared spectra investigation. The microhardness and dielectric study at 100 Hz was found to be broadly higher than that of pristine LAAN. The AC conductivity was found to extend after doping due to the induced defects in crystal lattice. The grown crystals were also subjected to second harmonic generation efficiency tests and it was found to be La2O3 doped LAAN crystal is 2.8 times greater than that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).

Single crystals of 2-Naphthalenol (2N), new organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, have been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The crystal system has been confirmed from the single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups were identified using FTIR spectroscopy. UV-vis-NIR spectrum showed absence of absorption in the wavelength region 400–1400 nm. The second harmonic generation efficiency is two times higher than that of standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).

A new nonlinear optical organic compound, namely, L-histidinium 2-nitrobenzoate (abbreviated as LH2NB (I); ([C6H10N3O2]+ [C7H4NO4]−)), was synthesized. The molecular structure of LH2NB (I) was elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of this compound is about two times that of the standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate crystals.

Abstract. LaF3 nanocrystals doped with lanthanides like Ce3+, Pr3+ and Nd3+ have been prepared using microwave technique. These synthesized crystals have been characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. Well dispersed, elongated, nanorods of hexagonal geometry (approximately 20nm in size) have been found in TEM analysis. The average particle size estimated from XRD analysis is about 20 nm and is in close agreement with the TEM results. Four characteristic peaks one at 3434 cm-1 (broad) and other at 2924, 2853, 1632 cm-1(sharp) have been observed in the FTIR spectra. Intense Blue colour (458 nm) emission has been recorded when crystals are excited with photons of wavelength 254 nm. Non Linear Optical (NLO) properties of the synthesized nanocrystals have been studied. It has been found that second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the prepared samples containing rare earth elements is less than pure Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals.

AbstractOrganic nonlinear optical single crystals of hexamethylenetetramine (HMT; 10 × 10 × 5 mm3) were prepared by crystallization from methanol solution. The grown crystals were subjected to various characterization techniques such as single crystal XRD, powder XRD, UV-Vis and electrical studies. Single crystal XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline structure of the grown crystals. Their crystalline nature was also confirmed by powder XRD technique. The optical transmittance property was identified from UV-Vis spectrum. Dielectric measurements were performed as a function of frequency at different temperatures. DC conductivity and photoconductivity studies were also carried out for the crystal. The powder second harmonic generation efficiency (SHG) of the crystal was measured using Nd:YAG laser and the efficiency was found to be two times greater than that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).

AbstractA single crystal of gamma-glycine (GG), a polymorph of glycine, was synthesized by crystallization. The single crystal of GG was grown from an aqueous solution. The morphology of GG was studied in order to assess its growth facets. The good quality single crystals were subjected to X-ray diffraction studies to reveal their structure. The FT-IR spectral analysis was carried out to confirm the presence of expected functional groups. The UV-Vis analysis was done for GG single crystals to determine the optical transparency and band gap. Simultaneous TG-DTA analysis was employed to understand the thermal and physicochemical stability of the title compound. The mechanical stability and laser stability of GG single crystal were studied using Vickers microhardness test and laser induced damage threshold on different planes of the crystal to reveal its anisotropic nature. The dielectric measurement was carried out as a function of frequency and the results were discussed. The existence of second harmonic generation (SHG) of the title compound was confirmed by Kurtz-Perry powder technique. The SHG effective nonlinearity and particle size dependence of GG powder sample were compared with a standard reference material: potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).
