Abstract Herein, we describe the growth and characterization of new crystal lead doped L-Threonine cadmium acetate (LTCA). The supramolecular coordination compounds are crystallized by slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature. The X-ray diffraction techniques confirm monoclinic crystal system and the presence of lead onto the LTCA lattice. L-Threonine amino acids have the unique properties like zwitter ionic nature and molecular chirality, which improves the optical properties of the crystal. The linear optical parameters such as optical band gap and refractive indexes are estimated from Uv-Vis analysis. The variation of dielectric constant, dielectric loss with frequency is studied using LCR meter. Due to the electropositive character of lead the static permittivity increases. Magnetic behavior changes to paramagnetic nature due to the inclusion of lead. TG/DTA analysis suggests, the crystal is thermally stable up to 135.32°C. Using Nd-YAG laser the NLO property was studied and the crystal shows higher SHG efficiency than the LTCA crystal.

Good quality single crystals of organic imidazolium L-Tartrate (IMLT) are grown up from aqueous solution by slow solvent evaporation technique. Various structural parameters and monoclinic crystal structure have been confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction method. The presence of various functional groups has been identified by ATR-FTIR. UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy has shown more than 60% of optical transparency with the lower UV cutoff at 245nm. The optical band gap value of the material is evaluated to be 4.8 eV. Other optical parameters such as refractive index, optical and electrical conductivity, Urbach energy, extinction coefficient, and optical and electrical susceptibility have been evaluated from transmission spectrum data. The above essential parameters manifest appropriate usage of IMLT as an NLO material. The thermogravimetric analysis indicates high thermal stability of material up to 214°C. Apart from that, the dielectric study at various temperatures confirms decrement of dielectric constant and dielectric loss at higher frequencies. The efficiency of Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) is found to be 3.5 times that of the KDP crystals. A range of analysis suggests suitability and potentiality of IMLT crystal for various optoelectronic applications.

Abstract Single crystals of 2.5 mole% of Cu 2+ doped Lithium sulphate monohydrate (LSMH) have been grown using slow evaporation technique at room temperature. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis ensures that the crystal belongs to monoclinic crystal system. The variation of relative dielectric constant, dielectric loss and tangent loss with frequency have been discussed. The conductivity and dielectric relaxation mechanism involved in the grown crystals have been carried out by using complex impedance spectroscopy in the temperature range (343K and 353K) and in the frequency range from 20Hz to 2MHz. The frequency dependent ac conductivity obeys the Jonscher’s power law. The imaginary part Mʺ of electrical modulus of grown crystals shows the formation of asymmetric dispersion peak and indicating non- Debye relaxation behaviour. Morphology properties of the grown crystals have been studied using atomic force microscopy and hence the roughness of the grown crystals has been calculated. The NLO property and LDT values of the grown crystals are analysed using Nd:YAG laser operating at 1064 nm and 532 nm respectively.

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystal has been doped with picric acid to alter its physical and chemical properties. Picric acid doped KDP salt was synthesized by adding 2 mole% of picric acid into the aqueous solution of KDP. Using the synthesized salt of picric acid doped KDP and double distilled water, single crystals were grown by solution method with slow evaporation technique. The grown single crystal was subjected to XRD method to find the crystal structure. The functional groups of the sample were found by FTIR method. The elements in the picric acid doped KDP crystal were identified by EDAX and CHN analyses. SHG studies of the sample were done to check the second order NLO property. Dielectric studies for picric acid doped KDP crystal were carried out using a multi-frequency LCR meter. Thermal stability of the sample was found by TG/DTA studies. The microhardness of the sample was also measured at different applied low loads and the results obtained from the various studies are discussed.

Growth of optically transparent single crystals of thiourea succinic acid (TUSA) was grown successfully from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The crystal structure was elucidated using the single crystal XRD. The various functional groups and the modes of vibrations were identified by FT-IR spectroscopic analysis. The optical absorption studies indicate that the optical transparency window is quite wide making its suitable for NLO applications. Thermal stability of the crown crystal carried out by TGA-DTA analysis.

Spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) as a purely coherent non-linear optical effect (also known as Kerr effect) can support strong broadband phase modulation, which is essential for all-optical applications. Besides this, the increasing use of two-dimensional (2D) materials opens up new prospects in this field of research. In this work, we report a broadband SSPM response from 2D transition metal carbonitrides (MXenes) and Nb2C, arising in the near-infrared (1,550 nm) range. Based on the SSPM measurements of few-layer Nb2C nanosheets, the third-order non-linear optical parameters of Nb2C, including the non-linear refractive index n2 and susceptibility χ(3), were determined at 400, 800, 1,300, and 1,550 nm. Moreover, the physics mechanism of the dynamic formation process of SSPM diffraction rings was exploited. The formation time of SSPM diffraction rings can be divided into two typical parts which correspond to the polarization and reorientation of 2D Nb2C nanosheets. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate the nonreciprocal light propagation at wavelengths of 1,300 and 1,550 nm by constructing an Nb2C/water hybrid structure. Our results reveal strong optical phase modulation of Nb2C in the infrared region, thus showing the great potential of MXene materials for use in passive photonic devices.

Phenyl trimethylammonium tetrachlorocobaltate, crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique. The crystal was bright, transparent. The three dimensional structure of the phenyl trimethylammonium tetrachlorocobaltate was obtained from single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

The thiourea doped lithium sulfate single crystal was grown by solution growth slow evaporation technique. The unit cell parameters of the grown crystal determined by X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the crystal belongs to a monoclinic crystal system with noncentrosymmetric space group P2. UV-visible spectral study signified that the crystal possesses an energy gap of 4.54 eV with 68% transparency in the visible region. The grown crystals were irradiated by Co-60 gamma radiations with different doses of 10 kGy, 30 kGy & 50 kGy and studied irradiation effect on powder XRD, dielectric properties, mechanical hardness, linear transmittance and second harmonic generation of the crystal. It is observed that the crystallite size, energy gap and transparency are decreased; whereas, the dielectric constant, AC conductivity, microhardness and SHG efficiency are increased upon an increase in radiation dose.
