The nonlinear optical single crystals of diglycine barium chloride monohydrate were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique from the mixture of an aqueous solution of glycine and barium chloride in the ratio 2:1 at room temperature. The grown crystals were characterized by various techniques such as single crystals X-ray diffraction, FTIR, UV-Vis-NIR spectra, Vickers hardness studies, thermogravimetric analysis, and fluorescence spectra. Its second harmonic generation efficiency was measured by Kurtz and Perry powder technique using Nd :YAG laser.

Optical, thermal and mechanical studies on nonlinear optical material diglycine barium chloride monohydrate (dgbcm) single crystal

Journal of Nonlinear Optical Physics & Materials

Diglycine Barium Chloride Monohydrate have been synthesized and characterized by the 13C and 1H NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray structural studies with a detailed analysis of Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots facilitating the interactions within the crystal structure. The Protonated N–H⋯O and intermolecular interaction responsible for the NLO activity are studied using DFT studies as well as experimental spectroscopic techniques. The molecular geometry, first &amp; second hyperpolarizability studies and harmonic vibrational wavenumbers were calculated using density functional theory with B3LYP/SDD methods. The detailed interpretation of the vibrational spectra (FTIR and Raman) was carried out with the Normal Coordinate Analysis (NCA) following the scaled quantum mechanical force field methodology. The inter and intra molecular interactions responsible for the stabilization of the molecule were revealed by the NBO and AIM analyses. Photoluminescence spectrum shows that the luminescence is at the blue region. The observed saturable absorption and self-defocusing effect lead to optical limiting action at 532 nm for a CW diode-pumped Nd: YAG laser (50 mW) beam. Optical nonlinearity studies (z-scan) give the nonlinear refractive index, nonlinear absorption coefficient, third order nonlinear susceptibility, second order hyperpolarizability and optical limiting. The obtained results indicate that the synthesised compound is a good candidate for optical limiting and OLED applications. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd
