Studies on the Growth and Microhardness, Dielectrics and Photoconductivity of NLO Material Ammonium acid phthalate

Abstract

Single crystals of Ammonium acid phthalate have been grown using the slow evaporation technique. A single crystal of good quality was harvested in a period of 30 days. Different characterization studies were carried out for finding its suitability in device fabrications. The lattice parameters were found from single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The grown crystal crystallized under orthorhombic system with Pcab space group. The Vicker's microhardness studies were performed to understand the mechanical behavior of crystals. The dielectric studies were carried on the grown crystals to study the electric behavior of these crystals. Photoconductivity measurements carried out on the grown crystal reveal the negative photoconducting nature

Influences of adsorptions of some inorganic molecules on electronic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of Mg12O12nanocage: A computational approach

“…Nonlinear optics (NLO) is a branch of optics that describes the nonlinear relationship between dielectric polarization P and electric field E. Nonlinear optical materials have been the subject of broad research in the past few decades because of their potential applications in technological applications such as optical switching, signal processing, information storage, optical communication, laser technology, and chemical and biological species detection. [1,2] The systematic study of the NLO properties really become possible since the invention of the laser. The first nonlinear optical laser experiment was performed by Franken et al by using a ruby laser.…”
