Effect of Rhodamine B Dye on the Thermal, Mechanical, Dielectric, Laser Damage Threshold and Optical Properties of L-Alanine Thiourea (LATU) Single Crystals

Abstract

Effect of Rhodamine B dye on the growth and properties of L-Alanine Thiourea Bulk single crystals has been reported. The cell parameters and crystallinity of pure and dye admixtured LATU crystals were confirmed by single crystal, powder X-ray diffraction and high resolution X-ray diffraction analyses. The functional groups present in the crystals were confirmed by FTIR analysis. The UV-vis-NIR transmission studies show the optical transparency in the entire visible region of Rhodamine B dye admixtured LATU crystal. The laser damage threshold value significantly enhanced for dye admixtured crystal in comparison with pure LATU crystal. The crystals were further subjected to other important characterizations such as dielectric measurement, micro hardness, thermal and NLO studies. The relative SHG efficiency of Rhodamine B dye admixtured LATU crystal was found to be 1.46 times higher than that of pure LATU crystal.

Optical and Thermal Properties of Acid Red Doped Triglycine Acetate Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications

“…[7][8][9][10] Xylenol orange dye had been used to improve the properties of various organic and inorganic crystals, such as ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP), L-alanine, thiourea and benzophenone. [1,[11][12][13][14] During our extensive research review, we discovered that colored crystals have richer specific properties than their host uncolored crystals. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] According to the existing literature, no study on the growth and characterization of Acid Red 1 (AR) dye doped TGAc crystals has been reported to date.…”
