Spectroscopic Investigation of Zinc Sulpharaate — A Novel Non-Linear Optical Crystal

摘要

Single crystals of zinc sulphamate were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. Formation of the new crystal has been confirmed by powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chemical composition of the crystal was revealed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The presence of functional groups in the crystal lattice has been qualitatively determined by FT-IR and FT-Raman analyses. The optical transmission spectroscopy (UV-visible) clearly evidences the suitability of this material for optical application. The non-linear optical characteristics of this material was explored by the second harmonic generation conversion efficiency.
