Optical imaging of the growth kinetics and polar morphology of zinc tris(thiourea) sulphate single crystals

Abstract: Growth kinetics of zinc tris(thiourea) sulphate (ZTS) single crystals was imaged in two different growth geometries using laser shadowgraphy technique. Growth rates of the {010} and {001} faces were computed as a function of supersaturation. The time evolution of polar morphology of ZTS crystal based on the growth rates is presented. Except (001) face, all the other three faces are found to have a dead zone resulting in large induction period of growth. The anisotropy in the growth rates of the (001) and (001)

“…In these materials, high optical nonlinearity of pure organic compound is combined with the favorable mechanical and thermal properties of inorganic materials [14][15][16][17][18]. Semi organic crystals have large damage threshold, wide transparency range, less deliquescence, excellent nonlinear optical coefficient, low angular sensitivity and exceptional mechanical properties [19][20][21][22].…”

“…Metal-organic coordination compounds have attracted attention for their considerable high NLO coefficients, stable physico-chemical properties and better mechanical intension such as zinc tris (thiourea) sulfate [2,3] and bis thiourea cadmium chloride [4]. Since several decades, efforts have been made to grow amino acid mixed inorganic complex crystals, in order to improve the mechanical and thermal stability.…”

“…4 To overcome these limitations, crystals having hybrid bonding, such as strong ionic bonds and van der Waals and hydrogen bonds have been grown in recent years. [5][6][7][8] These materials have the dual benefit of high optical non-linearity and high mechanical strength. Lithium p-nitrophenolate trihydrate (LPNPT) belongs to this class of semiorganic crystals in which the organic ligand (nitrophenoxy group) is bonded through an ionic bond to the lithium ion.…”
