Single crystals of γ‐glycine in the presence of cesium chloride were grown from aqueous solution by low temperature solution growth technique. The phase purity and crystal structure of the grown crystals were confirmed by Powder X‐ray diffraction analysis. The presence of functional groups were confirmed by FT‐IR spectrum. Thermal analysis of the grown crystal was determined by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), which results the thermal stability of the grown crystal. The optical absorption and lower cut‐off values were ascertained by recorded UV‐Visible spectrum of γ‐glycine crystals. The existence of second harmonic generation efficiency of frequency doubling was found to be 6 times greater than that of KDP.
Single Crystal of γ-glycine lithium nitrate with non-linear optical material have been grown by slow evaporation method at room temperature. Structural and Crystalline nature of the grown γ-glycine lithium nitrate crystal was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction technique. UV-Visible transmittance study was performed to analyze optical transparency of γ-glycine crystal and found that the crystal was transparent in the entire visible region. The mechanical properties of the grown crystal was subjected to Vickers hardness test and the Brittleness index (Bi), Fracture toughness (Kc), Elastic stiffness constant (C11) were estimated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
