An organic electro-optic and nonlinear optical (NLO) material, L-alaninium oxalate, was synthesized by the standard method. The synthesized material was purified by repeated recrystallization. Single crystals were grown by the slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals were transparent and had optimum dimensions (20 x 3 x 2 mm 3 ) and were characterized by single crystal XRD, FT-NMR, FT-IR, TGA-DTA and UV-Vis-NIR techniques. The second harmonic generation (SHG) from the material was confirmed using Nd:YAG laser.
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.
