Investigation on structural, spectral, and thermal properties of l-histidinium glutarate monohydrate (LHG)

Abstract

L-histidinium glutarate monohydrate, an organic nonlinear optical crystal has been successfully grown from deionized water by slow solvent evaporation method at room temperature. Crystal structure and its lattice parameters were identified by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Crystalline perfection of the grown crystal was studied by high-resolution X-ray diffraction rocking curve measurements by employing a multicrystal X-ray diffractometer. FT-IR and FT-Raman spectral studies were employed to identify the presence of various functional groups and mode of vibrations in the crystal. Thermal behavior of the crystal was studied by TG-DTA, TG-DTG, and DSC analyses. Optical absorption of the crystal in the wavelength region 200-1,000 nm was studied by UV-Vis-NIR spectral analysis. Kurtz and Perry powder technique was employed to find the second harmonic generation efficiency of the crystal.

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles Using Solanum Nigrum Leaf Extract and Overview of Their Antibacterial Activities

“…FT-IR is an analytical technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas [23]. The functional groups got involved to ZnO-NPs were identified in the 4000-400 nm region.…”

In situ growth of an ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate single crystal by the vertical Bridgman technique: a potential nonlinear optical material for third-harmonic generation

“…However, most of the time the incorporation of solvent molecules inside the grown single crystal is unavoidable, and this will create superfluous defects inside the crystal. Though this problem is avoided in melt growth, the growth of good quality single crystals by the melt-growth process is a tedious task (Albert et al, 2014;Ramamurthy et al, 2011;Nayak et al, 2021;Solanki et al, 2017), in particular for organic single crystals where the chance of creating defects is doubled because of their low thermal conductivity. The vertical Bridgman technique (VBT) is a very well known method for growing large single crystals.…”

Analysis on Dielectric, Thermal, and Mechanical Characteristics of Nickel Boro Phthalate NLO Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications

“…Nonlinear optics (NLO) is a field of science in which light wave is controlled in a predetermined manner for various applications such as signal processing and computing, optical imaging, optical gates, data storage, and photonics and optoelectronic applications. [ 1–3 ] The experiment on optical harmonic analysis by Peter Franken and team, leading to the introduction of the first laser marked the start of innovative technology, the “Nonlinear optics.” The nonlinearity within a material is manifested by the field‐dependent optical constants, the absorption and refractive index, on interaction with an intense electric field. [ 4 ] This generates new optical frequencies and fascinating observations, such as higher harmonic generation, optical phase conjugation, cascaded self‐frequency doubling, and tripling, which propelled the scope of optics to greater heights.…”
