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.
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.
