Growth and Spectral Characterization of L-Valine Zinc Acetate Single Crystal

L-Valine zinc acetate (LVZA) was synthesized and its solubility was estimated in the solvent of double distilled water. Single crystals of LVZA were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The cell parameters were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Functional groups of LVZA were identified by FTIR analysis. UV-vis-NIR spectral studies showed the optical nature of LVZA. Kurtz powder technique revealed the SHG efficiency of LVZA. Thermal properties of the grown LVZA crystal were studied from TGA/ DTA and DSC spectrum. Vickers’s mechanical hardness values were found for the grown crystal.

Growth, spectroscopic, electrical and mechanical studies on hexamethylenetetramine succinate crystal: a new third harmonic generation material

Hexamethylenetetramine succinate was synthesized and good quality single crystals with the size of 14 mm × 6 mm × 4 mm were grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The single crystal XRD revealed that the grown crystal belongs to the monoclinic system with the space group of P21/c. The presence of functional groups in the crystal was identified using FT-IR technique. The optical behavior was examined through UV-Vis-NIR studies. The photoconductivity study exhibited the positive photoconductivity nature of the grown crystal. Microhardness studies revealed the soft nature of the crystal. The nonlinear refractive index (n2), nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) and third order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ(3) of the crystals were measured by Z-scan studies.

Spectral, HR-XRD, Thermal and Dielectric Studies on Mixed Solvent Grown DAST Single Crystals

The highly meritorious single crystal ofDAST (4-N,N-dimethylamino-4’-N’-methylstilbazolium tosylate) was grown through solution growth technique. The grown single crystals crystalline perfection analysis was made by HRXRD studies. The dielectric constant (ε), dielectric loss (ε) of DAST crystal was studied at different temperatures. The thermal decomposition stages were examined by using thermogram of DAST crystal and also it was giving best description of kinetic changes. Dielectric character was studied to the DAST crystal. The dielectric character of DAST was too analyzed.

Structural, spectral, electrical, Z-scan and HOMO LUMO studies on new 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium 2-hydroxybenzoate crystal

New organic single crystals of 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium 2-hydroxybenzoate (2A6M2H) were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The grown crystal structure was studied using single crystal XRD. Crystalline nature and phases were confirmed by powder XRD analysis. FT-IR study was used to identify the functional groups present in the compound. UV-Vis study revealed that the lower cut off wavelength of the crystal is at 350 nm. The dielectric studies indicated the low value of dielectric loss at high frequency. Mechanical properties of the crystals were studied using Vickers microhardness test.

Development of Solvent Inclusion Free 4H-SiC Off-Axis Wafer Grown by the Top-Seeded Solution Growth Technique

This study reports our newly developed technology for SiC solution growth. In particular, we succeed in completely suppressing solvent inclusions, which have been a serious technological problem peculiar to the solution growth method. Then, we fabricate two-inch-diameter 4° off-axis SiC wafers without solvent inclusions. Moreover, we performed their crystal defects evaluation. It was found that our wafers were low resistance n-type 4H-SiC and contain almost no basal plane dislocation. As a result, the superior quality of our solution-grown crystal was confirmed.
