| Abstract: | Amino acid family crystals exhibit excellent nonlinear and electro‐optical properties. L‐alanine alaninium nitrate (LAAN) single crystal belonging to the amino acid group was grown by slow cooling solution growth technique. The High resolution X‐ray diffraction (HRXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, UV‐Vis., Photoluminescence (PL) and Factor group analyses were carried out. The factor group analysis reveals 183 internal vibrations for the title compound. The second harmonic generation property was tested by Kurtz‐Perry powder technique.
