Organic nonlinear optical crystal morpholinium hydrogen tartrate (MHT), with molecular formula [C8H15NO7], has been grown by slow evaporation solution technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction study confirms that MHT crystallizes in orthorhombic system with noncentrosymmetric space group P212121. FTIR spectrum was recorded to identify the various functional groups of MHT. The various kinds of protons and carbons of MHT have been identified using1H and13C NMR spectral analyses. The range of optical absorption was ascertained by recording UV-Vis-NIR spectral studies. The TG/DTA studies revealed that the grown crystal is thermally stable up to 159.26°C. The mechanical property of the grown crystal was studied using Vickers microhardness studies. The relative second harmonic generation efficiency of MHT was determined using Kurtz and Perry powder technique; it was observed to be greater than that of KDP crystal.

L-asparagine L-tartrate (LAT), an organic compound has been synthesized from aqueous solution and bulk single crystal has been grown by slow evaporation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the monoclinic structure of the grown LAT crystal. The presence of functional groups of the grown crystal was identified by FTIR studies. Linear optical property of the grown crystal was studied by UV-Vis spectral analysis. Microhardness studies reveal that the crystal possesses relatively higher hardness compared to other organic nonlinear optical crystals. Dielectric response of the L-asparagine L-tartrate crystal was analyzed for different frequencies at various temperatures. Kurtz-Perry powder second harmonic generation test confirmed the nonlinear optical properties of the as-grown LAT crystal.

Organic nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystal of L-tartaric acid–nicotinamide (LTN) has been grown by slow evaporation solution technique at a constant temperature of 40[Formula: see text]C. The grown crystals were subjected to various characterization techniques in order to examine their suitability for various applications. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) analysis revealed that the compound is formed without any impurities. Functional groups and formation of the title compound were confirmed using FTIR analysis. Optical behavior of the material was examined using UV–Vis NIR spectrum analysis and the lower cut-off wavelength and optical band gap energy were calculated. Microhardness, dielectric and piezoelectric studies have been carried out at ambient conditions. Electronic properties such as valence electron plasma energy, Penn gap, Fermi energy and electronic polarizability were calculated by Clausius–Mossotti relation. Photoluminescence analysis was carried out to study the luminescence nature of the crystal and its defect states. In addition photoconductivity, etching studies and powder Kurtz and Perry second harmonic generation (SHG) test were carried out.

L-phenylalanine cadmium chloride (LPCC) single crystals were grown from aqueous solution using the slow evaporation solution technique. The grown crystals were analyzed through various characterization techniques. Structural study reveals that LPCC belongs to a monoclinic crystal system with the space group P1. The presences of various functional groups were identified by Fourier transform infrared analysis. Optical absorption study was carried out and complete transparency in the visible region was observed with a lower cutoff wavelength of 261 nm. The surface morphology was analyzed through scanning electron micrograph studies. LPCC is thermally stable up to 265 °C as determined by thermogravimetric – differential thermal analysis studies. Dielectric behavior as a function of frequency was examined. The mechanical behavior was studied by Vicker’s microhardness tester. To explore the nonlinear optical property, the Kurtz powder method was employed and second harmonic generation efficiency was determined.

AbstractNovel nonlinear optical semi-organic, potassium phthalate di lithium borate (KPDLiB) single crystals were successfully grown by the slow solvent evaporation technique. Good crystalline nature and an orthorhombic structure were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The functional groups of KPDLiB were identified using FT-IR spectrum recorded in the range of 4000 cm−1 to 450 cm−1. UV-Vis spectrum showed transmitting ability of the crystals in the entire visible region. The photoluminescence spectrum exhibited good fluorescence emission in a visible region at 384 nm, 416 nm and 578 nm. The second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal was evaluated from Kurtz powder technique.

Single crystals of L-tartaric acid (LTA), an organic nonlinear optical material, have been grown using a home-built crystal growth setup (the Moovendaran–Kalyanasundar–Natarajan setup). Crystals of LTA were also grown by the slow evaporation solution technique. These single crystals were characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and IR and UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy. In addition, measurements of Vickers microhardness, laser damage threshold value and second harmonic generation efficiency are reported. Thermal, dielectric and photoluminescence studies were also carried out.

Optical properties of the crystal were evaluated by UV-Vis-NIR transmission and absorption spectra in the range of 200–1000 nm. Thermal stability of the crystal was studied by thermo gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Mechanical properties of the crystal were analyzed using Vicker's microhardness technique. Second harmonic generation efficiency of the crystal was examined using pulsed Nd :YAG laser. Finally, the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the crystal were measured using single-beam Z-scan technique.
