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.

Semi-organic single crystals of guanidinium tris cadmium sulphate octahydrate (GuCdS) with nonlinear optical properties were successfully grown by slow solvent evaporation technique. The grown crystals were characterised by powder X -ray diffraction analysis to determine the unit cell parameters. The structure of the compound belongs to triclinic crystal system and space group is found to be P1. The grown crystals were subjected to FTIR spectroscopic analysis to confirm the presence of functional groups present in the compound. UV-vis-NIR spectral study suggested that the grown crystal is transparent in the entire visible region, the lower cut off wavelength is 200 nm and the band gap value is estimated to be 6.14 eV. Nonlinear refractive index (n2), absorption coefficient (β) and third order nonlinear susceptibility (χ(3)) were calculated using Z-scan technique. The thermal stability of grown crystal was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analyses. The dielectric behaviour of the grown crystal was analyzed as a function of frequency of the applied field. The mechanical properties of grown crystal were examined by Vickers′s micro hardness test. The laser damage threshold of the grown crystal was calculated to be 1.796 GW/cm2.

7-Keto-8-aminopelargonic acid synthase (KAPA synthase; BioF) is an essential enzyme for mycobacterial growth that catalyses the first committed step in the biotin-synthesis pathway. It is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme and is a potential drug target. Here, the cloning, expression, purification and crystallization of KAPA synthase fromMycobacterium smegmatis(MsBioF) and the characterization of MsBioF crystals using X-ray diffraction are described. The crystals diffracted to 2.3 Å resolution and belonged to the monoclinic space groupP21, with unit-cell parametersa= 70.88,b= 91.68,c= 109.84 Å, β = 97.8°. According to the molecular weight of MsBioF, the unit-cell parameters and the self-rotation function map, four molecules are present in each asymmetric unit with aVMvalue of 2.06 Å3 Da−1and a solvent content of 40.20%.

In this paper, the micro-structure and laser damage threshold of nano- ZrO 2 thin films were investigated. High-purity nano- ZrO 2 particles as the coating materials of samples were prepared by the electron beams evaporation. The micro-structure and crystallitic size of samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, a laser by 1064nm, 10ns, 3Hz Nd:YAG laser damage test each for nano- ZrO 2 films. The results showed that oxygen partial pressure has an important influence on the micro-structure of nano- ZrO 2 films, also found that the crystallitic size and different micro-structure influenced the laser damage threshold. The obtained results showed that laser damage threshold of polycrystalline structure is obviously higher than that of amorphous structure.

AbstractThe praseodymium borate-nitrate Pr[B5O8(OH)(H2O)0.87]NO3·2H2O was obtained in a hydrothermal synthesis. It crystallizes monoclinically in the space groupP21/n(no. 14) with four formula units (Z=4) and unit cell parameters ofa=641.9(3),b=1551.8(7),c=1068.4(5) pm, withβ=90.54(2)° yieldingV=1.0643(8) nm3. The defect variant constitutes the missing member in the series of isostructural, early rare earth borate-nitrates of the compositionRE[B5O8(OH)(H2O)x]NO3·2H2O [RE=La (x=0; 1), Ce (x=1), Nd (x=0.85), Sm (x=0)]. In addition to powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, the novel borate-nitrate was characterized through IR and Raman spectroscopy.

A new trimetallic compound with formula (NH4)Ni2.4Co0.6O(OH)(MoO4)2•1.5H2O was obtained by hydrothermal synthesis. The solid was characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, Laser Raman spectroscopy, and chemical analysis by atomic absorption, confirming the formation of the layered phase ϕy. Crystallographic studies showed that the compound obtained is trigonal with hexagonal unit-cell parameters, a = 6.0468 ± 0.0016 Å and c = 21.8433 ± 0.0001 Å, and space group R-3m.

Two new nonmetal cation tetrafluoroborate phases [H3tren](BF4)3 (I) and [H3tren](BF4)3 HF (II) were synthesized by microwave-assisted solvothermal and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis DTA-TGA. [H3tren](BF4)3 is cubic (P213) with unit cell parameter a = 11.688(1) Å. [H3tren](BF4)3•HF is trigonal (R3c) with unit cell parameters a = 15.297(6) Å and c = 12.007(2) Å. Both (I) and (II) structures can be described from isolated tetrafluoroborate BF4- anions, triprotonated tris-(2-aminoethyl)amine (tren) [H3tren]3+. Phase (II) contains disordered BF4- tetrahedron and hydrofluoric acid.

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.
