    GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A NONLINEAR OPTICAL MATERIAL: L-HISTIDINE-DOPED IMIDAZOLINIUM L-TARTRATE
    (SpringerLink, 2019-04-24) P, Dhivya; R, Arun Kumar; T, Theivasanthi; G, Vinitha; M D, Kannan
    Imidazolinium L-tartrate (IMLT) crystals and L-histidine-doped IMLT crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The powder x-ray diffraction technique confirms the lattice parameters and shifts in the peak positions attributed to the dopant L-histidine. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum reveals the assignments of characteristic bondings present in the grown crystals. The frequency-dependent dielectric constant and dielectric loss of pure and L-histidine-doped IMLT crystals have been investigated by the dielectric measurements. Doping has improved the optical parameters and was studied using UV–Vis-near infrared (NIR) spectral studies. The cut-off wavelengths of pure and 1 mol.% L-histidine-doped IMLT crystals were observed at 234 nm and 229 nm, respectively. The etching study examines the growth mechanism and surface morphology of the pure and L-histidine-doped IMLT crystals. The carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen (CHN) analysis conveys the percentage of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen elements present in pure and L-histidine-doped IMLT crystals. The consequences of doping L-histidine in IMLT single crystal and their dominance in various properties of the crystal grown in aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique have been explored.
