Single crystals of Bis – glycine hydrochloride (BGHC) were grown from aqueous solution by means of slow evaporation and slow cooling techniques. Single crystal XRD study reveals that the grown BGHC crystallizes in orthorhombic system with  space group P212121 and  the obtained unit cell parameters are a = 5.32 Å, b = 8.10 Å and c = 18.01 Å. Powder X – ray diffraction pattern of grown BGHC has been indexed. Functional groups present in the BGHC crystals were identified by FT – IR spectral analysis. The transmission and absorption spectra for the grown BGHC crystal shows that the lower cut off wavelength lies at 235 nm. The photoluminescence spectrum of the grown crystal was recorded. Mechanical hardness of the grown BGHC was determined and Vickers microhardness hardness number was calculated. Laser damage threshold study was carried out for the grown crystal using Nd:YAG laser. The thermal stability of the grown crystal was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis and the grown crystal is thermally stable up to 198 °C. Particle size dependent second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal was examined by Kurtz and Perry powder technique using 1064 nm laser.

2-Amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidinium p-hydroxybenzoate (ADPHB), a novel organic material, was synthesized, and crystals were grown by slow evaporation solution growth method. The cell parameters and crystalline perfection of the grown crystal were studied by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses. The presence of various functional groups of the grown crystal was confirmed using Fourier Transform infrared spectral analysis. UV-Visible spectrum shows that ADPHB crystals have high transmittance in the range 305–900 nm. The refractive index and transient photoluminescence properties of the grown crystal were analyzed. The laser induced surface damage threshold, optical birefringence, and second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal were studied.

Single crystals of bis 2,5-dimethylanilinium sulfate (bis 2,5-DAS) were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The crystalline nature of the grown crystal was confirmed by the single crystal X-ray data. Bis 2,5-DAS crystal was found to crystallize in monoclinic system with non-centrosymmetric space group Cc. The various functional groups presented in the crystal were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopic studies. Optical transmittance of the grown crystal was studied by UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy. The dielectric loss and dielectric constant measurement as a frequency and temperature were measured on bis 2,5-DAS single crystal. The thermal stability and decomposition stages of the grown crystal were studied by TG-DTA analysis. Microhardness measurements revealed that bis 2,5-DAS belongs to a soft material category. Laser damage threshold studies were carried out for the grown crystal. The second harmonic generation of the crystal was confirmed and the efficiency was measured using Kurtz Perry powder method.

In the present study, L-alanine crystal is grown with cobalt chloride as dopant by low temperature solution growth using slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The lattice parameters of the grown pure and cobalt chloride doped L-alanine crystals were determined by the single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The presence of the elemental composition such as cobalt chloride present in the L-alanine lattice was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The optical transmittance, absorbance, reflectance was measured and used to study the optical properties of the pure and doped L-alanine crystal. The pure L-alanine crystal has high optical transmittance in the whole visible range and UV transparency with lower cutoff wavelength at 240[Formula: see text]nm. By adding cobalt chloride to L-alanine crystal, the transmittance decreases the value of cutoff shifts to the higher wavelengths. Nonlinear optical studies reveal that the SHG efficiency and laser damage threshold energy increases when the L-alanine crystal is doped with cobalt chloride. From microhardness studies, it is observed that the cobalt chloride doped L-alanine crystal is harder than the pure crystal.

In this paper, an organic 4-nitroaniline picrate (4NP) single crystal was grown by solution growth method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study revealed that grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with Pbcn space group. The solid state constants such as plasma energy, Penn gap, Fermi energy and polarizability of 4NP crystal were determined theoretically. The functional groups of the grown crystals were confirmed qualitatively from FTIR spectral analysis. The thermal decomposition and melting point of the crystal were determined from thermogravimetric analysis. The optical absorption and cut-off wavelength of the crystal were determined from UV-visible study. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the grown crystal was measured by Kurtz–Perry SHG test using Nd : YAG laser. The laser damage threshold value of the grown crystal was estimated by multi-shot method using 1064 nm laser.

Single crystal of organic material Methyl N- phenylsuccinamate (MPS) has been grown by the slow evaporation technique using methanol as a solvent. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic system with non centrosymmetric space group Pna21. Optical transmittance and second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystals have been studied by UV-vis-NIR spectrum and Kurtz powder technique respectively. The transmittance of MPS crystal has been used to calculate the refractive index (n), the extinction coefficient (k) and reflectance (R). The laser induced surface damage threshold for the grown crystal has been measured using Nd:YAG laser. The mechanical behaviour of the MPS crystal has also been analyzed.


Nonlinear optical lithium sodium sulphate hexahydrate (LSS) crystal of 17 mm x 14 mm x 12 mm dimension was harvested by temperature reducing method. The single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction investigation studies reveal the crystal system and crystalline characters of grown LSS crystal. The FT-IR spectrum of LSS crystal was recorded to confirm its functional constituents present in the synthesized compound. Mechanical ability of the grown LSS crystal was studied by Vicker’s hardness method. The etching pattern was recorded to identify the growth feature of the grown crystal. The parameters of dielectric constant and dielectric loss were calculated for the grown crystal. Thermal analysis was carried out on the crystal by employing thermogravimetric method. The cutoff wavelength and optical transmittance character and second harmonic generation efficiency of the LSS crystal were done by UV-Visible and Kurtz-Perry studies respectively.

We concentrate on the low temperature slow solvent evaporation method and characterization of pure and 1, 10 phenanthraline doped KB5 and describe its potential as a non-linear optical material. The grown crystal has been subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to identify the unit cell parameters and crystal system. The presence of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen content were confirmed by CHN analysis. The Kurtz’s-Perry powder SHG efficiency was determined for both pure and 1, 10 phenanthraline doped KB5 crystals as 1.6 and 2.2 times than that of pure KDP. Laser damage threshold studies of the pure and doped KB5 crystals have been found to be Q-Switched Nd-YAG laser.
