Effect of glycine addition on the structural, thermal, optical, mechanical and electrical properties of Sr (HCOO)2·2H2O crystals

Growth at Room Temperature and Investigation of Physicochemical Characteristics of New Semi‐Organic BaxCa1‐xC4H4O4 (x = 0.2, 04, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.8) Crystals

“…Crystals with fractional water molecules are expected to be more useful. Fractional water molecules have been reported earlier for K 3 BaCl 5 .2H 2 O, K 3 CaCl 5 .2H 2 O, Na 3 CaCl 5 .2H 2 O and Sr(HCOO) 2 .2H 2 O crystals. The chemical compositions observed for the grown mixed crystals are provided as the observed molecular formula in Table .…”

Growth, optical, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties of anhydrous sodium formate single crystals

“…A C C E P T E D attributed to the proton transport within the framework of hydrogen bonds [19,32,33]. The electrical conduction in SF crystal considered in the present study can also be understood as protonic and mainly due to the formate ions.…”

“…Studies on amino acid formates such as l-threonine formate [9][10][11][12], l-alanine formate [13,14], l-valinium formate [15] l-arginine formate [16] and l-argininium formate [17] have also been reported. Among the metal formate crystals, lithium formate [18] and strontium formate [19] crystals have been studied, to some extent. However, the literature shows very little about the other metal formate crystals.…”

Structural, optical, morphological and SHG studies on 8 MeV electron beam irradiated Sr(HCOO)2·2H2O crystal

“…As a consequence of this lattice stress introduced by the interstitials, there is a decrease in interplanar spacing leading to slightly higher Bragg angle. A small change in 2θ values (but well within 0.5°) of irradiated crystals has been found for all doses of irradiation when compared to that of nonirradiated SFD-Pure crystal [15]. This clearly indicates that the electron solid interaction is capable of producing electronic excitation leading to thermal spikes produced along the path of electron [10], which may have some effect on the mechanical and thermal properties of the crystals concerned.…”

“…1 kGy, 10 kGy, 50 kGy and 100 kGy (a total of 4 irradiated crystals) and characterized for structure, thermal stability, chemical stability and optical properties. The growth of single crystals and characterization have been carried out by the procedures described earlier [15]. The grown crystals weighing about 4 grams were irradiated by 8 MeV electron beam from a variable energy microtron source (available at Mangalore University, India) at a distance of 30 cm from the beam exit port at room temperature (32°C).…”
