The effect of nitric acid (HNO3) on growth,spectral, thermal and dielectric properties of triglycine sulphate (TGS) crystal

The effect of nitric acid (HNO₃) addition on the growth of triglycine sulphate (TGS) crystal has been studied from the aqueous solution for various concentrations of nitric acid. Significant changes in the crystal size and morphology have been observed in all the grown samples. Single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses confirm the structure and cell parameter values of pure and HNO₃ doped TGS crystals. FT-Raman and FTIR spectra confirm the characteristics absorption bands of pure and HNO₃ doped TGS crystals. The composition of TGS crystals have been confirmed by CHNS analysis. Physical properties such as thermal, dielectric and mechanical studies have been performed for the pure and HNO₃ doped TGS crystals. The dielectric constants of the crystals have been studied as a function of frequency. The results suggest that the HNO₃ is doped into TGS crystal and that the doping increases its dielectric constant.     

Structural, spectral, optical and dielectric properties of copper and glycine doped LAHCl single crystals

Cu2+ and glycine doped L-arginine monohydrochloride monohydrate (LAHCl) single crystals were grown by slow solvent evaporation technique.

The crystalline perfection of pure and doped crystals was analyzed by high resolution X-ray diffraction studies. Vickers microhardness and UV-visible spectroscopy were carried out respectively to study the mechanical stability and optical transmittance of pure and doped LAHCl single crystals. He-Ne laser of wavelength 632.8 nm was used to measure refractive index and birefringence of grown crystals. The second harmonic generation efficiency was also measured for pure and doped LAHCl single crystals using Nd:YAG laser.

Factors responsible for asymmetrical behavior are discussed.     

Influence of Nd:Zn codoping in near-stoichiometric lithium niobate

Near-stoichiometric lithium niobate (SLN) crystals doped with up to 1.6 mol % Zn and codoped with various Nd concentrations in the melt (0.2, 0.5, 0.9, and 1.5 mol %) (Nd:Zn:SLN) are grown from 58.6 mol % Li(2)O using conventional Czochralski technique. Crystals are pulled at the rate of 0.35 mmh with seed rotation at 9 rpm. Concentrations of Zn and Nd in the crystal are varied by adding appropriate amounts of ZnO and Nd(2)O(3) to the starting composition. Unit cell parameters of the grown crystals are calculated by Rietveld refinement method using FULLPROFF software. Domain structure studies are carried out by chemical etching followed by microscopic examination. Dielectric studies reveal the existence of piezoelectric resonance at high frequencies. Enhancement in dielectric constant and tan delta in Nd doped samples has been attributed to the space charge polarization. Nd doped samples exhibit reduction in the relative permittivity after oxygen annealing. Transmission spectra of Nd:Zn:SLN crystals in the UV region exhibit blueshift in the cutoff wavelength. In Mid Infrared (MIR) region crystals doped with 1.6 mol % Zn have shift in the OH absorption peak from 2873 to 2833 nm. Judd-Ofelt analysis carried out on the absorption spectra of codoped crystal yields the lifetime of 104 mus for the metastable state (4)F(32). The branching ratio for the electronic transition from (4)F(32) to (4)I(112) is high compared to that for (4)F(32) to (4)I(132), indicating a higher emission cross section for the former transition. Laser damage threshold evaluated using 532 nm, 5 ns pulsed neodymium doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser, shows an increase by two orders of magnitude for crystals doped with 1.6 mol % Zn. Photorefractive damage threshold for these crystals shows an enhancement of four orders of magnitude due to increase in the photoconductivity.     

Spectral, optical, and thermal studies of pure and Zn(II)-doped l-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (LHHC) crystals

The influence of doping the transition metal Zn(II) on the growth, spectral, optical, and thermal properties of l-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (LHHC) crystals grown by slow solvent evaporation method has been investigated. Structural characterizations of the grown crystals were carried out by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and it shows slight structural changes as a result of doping. The FT-IR spectral study reveals the presence of various functional groups and confirms the slight distortion of the structure of the crystals due to doping. The energy dispersive X-ray analysis reveals the incorporation of Zn(II) in the crystalline matrix of LHHC crystal. The UV?CVis spectral study was carried out to analyze the optical transmittance of the grown crystals and found that the transmittance is very high in the visible and UV regions for both pure and doped crystals. The second harmonic generation (SHG) for the grown crystals was confirmed by Nd:YAG laser. The scanning electron microscopy reveals the presence of defect centers and crystal voids. The thermal stability and purity of the grown crystals were analyzed by thermogravimetry, differential thermal analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry techniques.     

Photodegradation of Luminescence in SiO2 : Rh B Gels Exposed to YAG : Nd Laser Pulses

Silicate gels doped with organic dyes have been proposed as solid-state tunable lasers. Photobleaching of the dye under laser excitation is an important phenomenon in this application. The optical absorption and luminescence of SiO2 silica gels doped with Rhodamine B exposed to the second harmonic pulses of a YAG : Nd laser have been studied. In addition to the characteristic exponential decay with the number of pulses, overlapping oscillations in the intensity were observed. This behavior is explained in terms of a long lived metastable electronic excited state of the dye molecules.     

Lasing from chiral photonic band gap materials based on cholesteric glasses

Glass-forming cholesteric liquid crystals were studied as promising dye-doped lasing materials at different pumping energies and temperatures. Cholesteric samples doped with laser dye pyrromethane 597 were pumped by Nd:YAG laser. Lasing was found to depend strongly on the vitrification rate of cholesteric samples, their temperature and multidomain structure. The lasing threshold and intensity as a function of thickness of cholesteric resonator are determined by two competing factors: narrowing of the band edge modes and increasing disorder.

Aluminium-doped LiFePO4 single crystals. Part I. Growth, characterization and total conductivity

Single crystals of Al-doped LiFePO4 (1% Al) were grown by an optical floating zone technique. After cleaving from the as-grown ingot they exhibited a blackish-green color. The grown crystals have been characterized by the Laue X-ray technique, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Phase composition has been determined by chemical analysis to be Li0.985+/-0.009Fe0.984+/-0.12Al0.0126PO3.993+/-0.06. Secondary ion beam spectroscopy (SIMS) indicates a homogeneous distribution of doped Al in the single crystal block. The total conductivities are shown to be electronic conductivities and have been measured along different directions with the help of the cell Ti/LiFe(Al)PO4/Ti. The samples exhibit effectively two-dimensional electronic conductivities along b- and c-directions similar as in pure LiFePO4. This decrease of conductivity on Al-doping compared with undoped crystals is in agreement with our previous conclusion of p-type conductivity of LiFePO4. Unlike nominally pure material not only the association of holes with lithium vacancies plays an important role but also purely ionic association.
