Growth and Characterization of a MetalOrganic Crystal: LHistidine Sodium Chloride

T. R. Beena, S. L. Rayar

Abstract :

 Semiorganic materials possess several attractive properties such as high NLO coefficient, high laser damage threshold and wide transparency range, high mechanical strength and thermal stability, which make the materials suitable for second harmonic generation (SHG) and other NLO applications. A new semi organic nonlinear optical material L–histidine sodium chloride crystal was synthesized by slow evaporation technique. ?e grown crystals have been subjected to powder X–ray diffraction studies to identify the crystalline nature. A Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) study confirms the presence of functional groups in the grown crystal. ?e absorption of these grown crystals was analyzed using UV–vis–NIR studies, and it was found that these crystals possess minimum absorption from 190 to 1100 nm. ?ermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) have been carried out to study its thermal properties. ?e Kurtz and Perry powder SHG technique confirms the NLO property of the grown crystal and the SHG efficiency of LHSC was found to be 0.45 times greater than that of KDP crystal
