Picolinium maleate (PM), a novel organic compound has been synthesised and bulk crystal has been grown from the aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The structure of the grown crystal was elucidated by using single crystal XRD analysis and powder XRD pattern further confirmed the crystallinity of the grown PM crystal. The presence of functional groups in PM were identified by FTIR spectral analysis. UV-Vis spectral studies revealed that PM crystals are transparent in the wavelength region 327–1100 nm. The laser damage threshold value of PM crystal was measured using Nd:YAG laser. The second harmonic conversion property was studied by Kurtz and Perry powder technique.

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.

ABSTRACTSingle crystals of semiorganic nonlinear optical material Triglycine Sodium Halides(TGSH) have been grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique at constant temperature. The powder X-ray diffraction of the grown crystals is recorded and indexed. Functional groups present in the samples are identified by FTIR spectral analysis. The optical absorption studies shows that the UV cut off wavelength is around 300nm and has a wide transparency window. The powder second harmonic generation efficiency of the crystals is measured by Kurtz and Perry powder technique using Nd:YAG laser and it is 1.5 times for Triglycine Sodium Chloride, 1.2 times for Triglycine Sodium Bromide and 1.4 times for Triglycine potassium Iodide crystals that of the standard KDP crystals. Triglycine Sodium halide crystals show very good stability under laser irradiation with no signs of decomposition. Laser damage threshold energy density of Triglycine Sodium Iodide is found to be 857 MW/cm2 and 540MW/cm2 for Triglycine Sodium Chloride crystals.

AbstractAn efficient semi-organic nonlinear optical bis (4-acetylanilinium) tetrachloridozincate [(C8H10NO)2 ZnCl4] (B4ATCZ) single crystal was synthesized and successfully grown by the slow evaporation method. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction data confirm that B4ATCZ crystallized into an orthorhombic crystal system (Cmca). The UV–Vis–NIR transmittance spectrum was taken to assess the optical transmission, cut-off wavelength, and bandgap energy. The TG–DSC investigation ensures that the B4ATCZ is stable up to 235 °C. The mechanical behavior of the B4ATCZ compound was determined by Vickers Microhardness analysis. The surface laser-induced damage threshold value of the grown B4ATCZ crystal was endowed to be 19.78 GW/cm2 on testing with 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser radiation. The positive photoconductive properties and charge transport mechanism of B4ATCZ crystal were analyzed through photoconductivity and dielectric studies. The electron excitation and lifetime measurements of the molecules in the B4ATCZ crystal were studied by fluorescence spectral analysis. The HOMO–LUMO analysis evidently interprets the occurrence of N–H⋯O and N–H⋯Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds influencing the charge transfer in the system. The electrostatic potential surface reveals the possible sites for hydrogen bonding electrophilic and nucleophilic interactions. Third-order nonlinear optical activity evaluated by the Z-scan measurements indicates the self-focusing and reverse saturable absorption in the crystal. The aforesaid results affirm that the metal-organic B4ATCZ is a potential material for optoelectronic and nonlinear optical device applications.

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.
