“…The process of repeated recrystallization was used to increase the purity and crystalline quality. For preparation of a saturated solution, the solute (4.19 g) and the solvent (100 mL of deionized water at 25 °C) were mixed well using a powered magnetic stirrer, and the ingot homogeneous solution was filtered with a fine Whatman filter sheet into a newly cleaned beaker . In order to prevent rapid evaporation, a thin sheet of plastic with some tiny holes was employed to cover the beaker.…”

Nonlinear optical (NLO) single crystals have become very useful for second harmonic generation, fiber-optic communications, electro-optic modulation techniques, terahertz (THz) wave generation and detection, and other numerous applications. Researchers exploring crystals need to identify appropriate NLO materials in order to achieve the aforementioned objectives. In the present work, crystals of l-histidine (LH), which is an amino acid, were successfully grown by a slow evaporation technique over a period of 35 days. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) was used to determine the structural information and lattice parameters. The functional groups and vibrational modes present in the compound were confirmed by FT-Raman spectral analysis. The crystals were then subjected to an etching study, which revealed that the crystal is not significantly deformed by solvent action. Optical characteristics were studied under UV–vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) analyses. It has been found that the crystal has a broad transparency between 250 and 900 nm, which makes it suitable for second harmonic generation (SHG) of lasers in the blue region of the electromagnetic spectrum (EM). The low frequency absorption spectra for LH single crystals in the range of 0.8 to 2.5 THz were analyzed by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The THz spectra of LH show that the THz wave is highly sensitive to the crystal, and the refractive index was also evaluated at different frequencies. The stability to temperature and thermal phase changes of LH were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The value of the laser-induced damage threshold was discovered to be 4.65 times greater than the potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) value. The third-order nonlinear behavior of the LH single crystal was investigated using a 10 ns pulsed Nd:YAG laser operating at wavelengths of 1064 and 532 nm. The nonlinear optical parameter α for the LH crystal was determined through Z-scan measurements.

“…On the other hand, inorganic materials have a high melting point, mechanical resistance, and chemical inertia; they have a low optical nonlinearity [6,7]. In this context, new semi-organic compounds with properties of organic and inorganic crystals are being extensively explored, as they tend to combine the desired properties [8,9]. In addition, a major advantage of most semi-organic materials is that upon forming ionic bonds, the resulting crystals acquire a higher probability of growth, greater thermal and mechanical resistance, and an increased chemical stability [6,[10][11][12][13].…”

Nonlinear optical materials have been investigated recently due to their potential technological applications in information storage and communications. In this context, semi-organic crystals can effectively combine the desired nonlinear optical properties of amino acids with the promising mechanical and thermal properties of inorganic materials. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized a semi-organic crystal of the amino acid l-histidine and hydrofluoric acid and investigated the chemical interactions between the organic and inorganic moieties. The crystal of l-histidine bis(fluoride) has been produced by slow solvent evaporation and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallography and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses. The XRD conducted using the Rietveld method shows that the unit cell is orthorhombic with the P21212 space group and contains four l-histidine bis(fluoride) units. Both differential thermal analysis and temperature-dependent XRD show that the crystals are thermally stable up to 191°C and do not undergo phase transition. The computational Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure reveals the main intermolecular interactions. Density functional theory has been employed to calculate the ionic interaction energy and electrostatic potential maps and confirm the spontaneity of ionic association at 191°C. The combined experimental and computational results show that the thermal stability of the semi-organic l-histidine bis(fluoride) crystal makes it suitable for nonlinear optical applications in optical sensing and communication systems.
