“…Thus more emphasis has been given by the scientists to develop non-linear optical crystals in L-cysteine and its analogs. Experiments conducted by Martin et al 3 , Loganayaki et al 4 , Bhagavannarayana et al 5 , Selvaraju et al 6 and Anbuchezhiyan et al 7 reveal the suitability of L-cysteine family crystals for their non-linear optical properties and applications. The non-linear optical properties of L-cysteine analogs make them strong candidates to replace KDP for frequency conversion of infrared lasers.…”

Nonlinear optical single crystals of L-cystine dihydrobromide (LCHB) have been grown by slow evaporation method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the crystal system and lattice parameter values. Powder X-ray diffraction analyses have been carried out and the diffraction patterns have been indexed. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis confirms the various functional groups present in the grown crystal. The thermal behavior of the grown crystal was investigated by DTA and TGA analysis. The optical properties of the crystals were determined using UV-Visible transmittance spectrum. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the crystal are studied as a function of frequency for various temperatures. The SHG efficiency of the crystal is studied using the Kurtz and Perry technique.

“…It belongs to the monoclinic crystallographic system, space group C2, with cell parameters: a = 18.63, b = 5.26, c = 7.28 Å, β = 103.7, Z = 2. Although, the growth aspects of LCHCl crystal have been reported in our laboratory [4] and few reports are presented on LCHCl based NLO crystals [8][9][10][11]. In order to grow crystals with optical qualities for nonlinear and device applications, a systematic investigation of optimized growth conditions has been carried out.…”

The semiorganic nonlinear optical crystal of amino-carboxyl acid family, L-cystine hydrochloride (LCHCl) was successfully grown from its aqueous solution by the slow evaporation solution growth method. The solubility, metastable zone width and induction period were determined for the first time experimentally and there by the possibility of growing bulk crystals of LCHCl using deionized water as solvent. The induction period was recorded for the different supersaturation ratios (S = 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5), which reveals that the induction period of LCHCl decreases with increase in supersaturation. The nucleation kinetic parameters such as critical free energy, change of volume free energy, critical radius, number of molecules in the critical nucleus and nucleation rate have been evaluated for LCHCl crystals. The interfacial energy values of LCHCl were determined for different supersaturation ratio by means of varying temperatures. The single crystal X-ray diffraction gives the lattice parameters value of the grown crystals. The second harmonic generation efficiency was confirmed by the Kurtz-Perry powder method. The laser damage threshold energy of the grown crystal indicates that grown crystal has excellent resistance to laser radiation also compared with known other nonlinear optical crystals.

“…Some of the L-cysteine complexes are L-cysteine tartarate monohydrate [15], L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate [16,17] and L-cysteine hydrochloride [18]. In the present investigation, attempts were made to grow single crystals of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (LCB) by slow solvent evaporation technique and characterization on single crystal X-ray diraction (XRD), UVvisible absorption, the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, microhardness, thermogravimetricdierential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), dierential scanning calorimetry (DSC), second harmonic generation and dielectric studies were done as well.…”

Nonlinear optical single crystals of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (LCB) were grown by slow evaporation technique. Single crystal X-ray diraction analysis revealed the crystal system and helped to determine lattice parameter values. Powder X-ray diraction analyses were carried out and the diraction patterns were indexed. The optical properties of the crystals were determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. Optical constants such as refractive index, extinction coecient and electric susceptibility were determined from UV-visible spectroscopy. The Fourier transform infrared studies conrmed the various functional groups present in the grown crystal. The mechanical behaviour of the grown crystals was studied using Vicker's microhardness tester. The thermal analysis conrmed that the crystal was stable up to 108.7• C. The dielectric constant and the dielectric loss measurements were carried out for dierent temperatures and frequencies. Second harmonic generation of LCB crystal was investigated by the Kurtz powder technique.
