Abstract: | Gamma glycine single crystal is a potential organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material. It has been grown from a mixture of aqueous solutions of glycine and ammonium acetate by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature for the first time. Powder X-ray diffraction studies are carried out and the results are compared. CHN analysis confirms the non-inclusion of ammonium acetate species in to the solution. FTIR studies are performed to identify the presence of various functional groups in the grown crystal. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis (DSC) was carried out to study the thermal stability and phase transition of the grown crystal. The optical analysis shows that UV cut-off of γ-glycine is at 190 nm and it has a wide transparency window. The second harmonic generation relative efficiency of the grown crystals was observed to be 1.72 times that of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP). |
