Comparative study on l-alaninium maleate single crystal grown by Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method and conventional slow evaporation solution technique

Unidirectional growth, improved structural perfection and physical properties of a semi-organic nonlinear optical dichlorobis(L-proline)zinc(II) single crystal

“…In SR method grown LPZ crystal the size of etch pit is large compared to the conventional method grown LPZ. Such observations were reported on the /100S directed DGZC, /001S directed TGS, /101S directed KDP and (011) face of the LAM single crystals [18][19][20][21]. The possible reasons for the large sized etch pits in the SR method grown crystal is due to the crystalline perfection.…”

Growth of negative solubility lithium sulfate monohydrate crystal by slow evaporation and Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy method

“…This is due to the fact that in solution grown crystals micro-particles of solution that get into the crystal are responsible for crystal defects and the inclusion of solution microparticles into the crystal results in decrease of hardness. Hence SR method grown crystals are reported to have higher hardness than the conventional method grown crystal [50,51].…”

Synthesis, Crystal Growth, and Optical Characterization of a Novel Nonlinear Optical Organic Material: N,N‐Diarylbenzamide

“…Since these compound's decomposition temperatures are beyond 373 K there is no water of crystallization present. The nature of weight loss designates the decomposition point of the materials . The NNDPB material has final residue of weight loss about 13% after heating 873 K. The NNDPB, FNNDPB show that strong endothermic peaks appeared at 593 and 610 K, these peaks are corresponding weight loss in TGA curve which is attributed to the energy required for release of the gaseous molecule .…”
