Optics & Laser Technology

Organic nonlinear optical benzil single crystal of fine quality with the dimensions of 168 × 14 mm2 was successfully grown in (100) plane from saturated solution by unidirectional SR method. The structural identity of the grown crystal was confirmed by powder XRD. High-resolution X-ray diffraction analysis indicates the crystalline perfection of the grown benzil crystal. The optical analysis was carried out by UV–visible spectroscopy which shows that the benzil crystal’s cut off wavelength is 437 nm. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of benzil crystal are found to be very much depending upon temperature and frequency. Ferroelectric nature of grown crystal was identified by P–E hysteresis analysis and to find the values of spontaneous polarization and coercive field. The laser damage threshold energy was studied with the help of Nd:YAG laser. The presence of third harmonic generation was identified by z-scan techniques. © 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

Study on third order nonlinear optical properties of a metal organic complex—Monothiourea–cadmium Sulphate Dihydrate single crystals grown in silica gel

Optically transparent crystal of the organic salt DEASI (2-[2-(4-Diethylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide) has been synthesized by using knoevenagel condensation reaction method. The synthesized material has been purified by successfully recrystallization process. Single crystals of DEASI have been grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The solubility of the title material has been determined at different temperature in acetonitrile/methanol mixture. The cell parameters and crystallinity of the title crystal were determined by single crystal XRD. The powder diffraction was carried out to study the reflection plane of the grown crystal and diffraction peaks were indexed. The presence of different functional groups in the crystal was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. 1H NMR spectrum was recorded to confirm the presence of hydrogen nuclei in the synthesized material. The optical property of the title crystal was studied by UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopic analysis. The melting point and thermal property of DEASI were studied using TGA/DSC technique. The Vicker's hardness (Hv) was carried out to know the category. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the compound decreases with an increase in frequencies. Chemical etching studies showed that the DEASI grows in the two dimensional growth mechanisms. The Kurtz-Perry powder second harmonic generation (SHG) test has done for title crystal.© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Growth and characterization of an organic single crystal: 2-[2-(4-Diethylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1-methyl-pyridinium iodide

Single crystals of organic optical material, 2-[2-(4-Diethylamino-phenyl)-vinyl]-1-methyl-pyridinium naphthalene-2-sulfonate (DESNS) (15×10×9 mm(3)) were grown by a slow evaporation technique at room temperature using methanol-acetonitrile (1:1) mixed solvent. The molecular structure of the grown crystal was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, and it belongs to orthorhombic system with space group Pbca and the unit cell dimentions are a=11.5148(3) Å, b=15.4352(4) Å, c=27.2187(7) Å, Z=8. The crystallinity of the title crystals was confirmed from the powder XRD pattern. The presence of functional groups of the title crystal was confirmed from the FTIR spectral studies. The transparent range and cut off wavelength of the grown crystal was studied by the UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopic analysis. The mechanical properties and thermal behavior of the grown crystals were studied from Vickers microhardness test and TG/DTA.
