Abstract: | l-Valine Ferric Chloride single crystal is a new semi organic nonlinear optical material. It has been grown from a mixture of aqueous solutions of l-Valine and Ferric Chloride by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature for the first time. Single crystal XRD analysis revealed that the crystal system belongs to Cubic P with cell parameters are a = 24.38 Å, b = 24.38 Å, c = 24.38 Å and volume is 14,485 Å3. The UV spectrum shows existence of wide transparency window suitable for optoelectronic applications. Thermal stability and melting temperature of the as grown crystal was identified from TG-DTA analysis. Spectroscopic studies have been carried out for analyzing the presence of functional groups, thermal stability and phase transition of the grown crystal. The dielectric loss and the dielectric constant of the crystals were measured as a function of frequency. Photoluminescence study was carried out for grown crystals and the maximum emission occurs has good optical transmission in the entire visible region. Second harmonic generation (SHG) conversion efficiency has been estimated. |
