Bulk crystal growth and characterization of non-linear optical bisthiourea zinc chloride single crystal by unidirectional growth method

Growth and characterization of Fe3+-doped bis(thiourea)zinc(II) chloride crystals

“…The specimen crystallizes with centrosymmetric space group Pnma and refined to a low R value of 0.0176 (final R indices). This analysis clearly indicates that the incorporation of Fe 3+ in BTZC leads to change the space group from noncentrosymmetric (Pn2 1 a) [26] to centrosymmetric (Pnma) which in turn enforced to predict the loss of second harmonic generation. However, the prediction could not be found true as some weak SHG was found as observed in the forthcoming NLO studies.…”

Optical, crystalline perfection and mechanical studies on unidirectional grown bis(thiourea) cadmium zinc chloride single crystal

“…The growth setup used here is a modified version of the Sankaranarayanan-Ramasamy (SR) method, which is somewhat similar to our earlier, reported one [16]. The assembly was optimized in such a way as to obtain a maximum temperature profile at the top.…”

Effect of Pd<SUP>2+</SUP> Doped on the Growth, Optical, Mechanical and Dielectric Properties of KAP Single Crystal

“…In exacting, the peak intensity of 3458 cm -1 is very strong for Pd (0.3 mol %) doped KAP when compared to the peaks 3449 cm -1 and 3441 cm -1 for Pd (0.1 & 0.2 mol %) doped KAP respectively. The difference in sharpness of multiple bands in this region may also be taken as evidence for the doping of divalent metal ions Measurement of hardness is a useful nondestructive testing method to determine the hardness of the material [13]. Vickers microhardness test was carried out on pure and Pd doped KAP single crystals using microhardness tester flitted with a diamond indenter.…”
