A study on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal, mechanical, NLO and laser damage properties on unidirectional Glycinium Picrate Mono Glycine crystal

摘要

By directional solidification, single crystal of Glycinium Picrate Mono Glycine (GPMG) was successfully grown by Sankaranarayanan-Ramasamy (SR) method. An optically transparent crystal of GPMG has been grown along h 011i plane by a mixed solvent of acetone and double distilled water. The evaporation rate was controlled and a single crystal of 12 mm diameter and 35 mm length was obtained. Single crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal, mechanical, SHG and laser damage studies were carried out. The results are discussed in detail.
