Abstract :

Semi-organic nonlinear optical single crystal dichloro bis L-valine zinc (II) (DCBVZ) was synthesized and successfully grown by the slow evaporation solution growth method. The structural, thermal, optical and mechanical properties were studied for the grown crystal. Cell parameters were determined using X-ray diffraction studies. FT-IR and NMR spectral studies confirm the functional groups present in the title material. The optical properties such as optical band gap and UV cutoff wavelength of the title material were obtained from the UV�vis-NIR spectrum. The thermal stability of the crystal has been analysed using TG/DTA studies. Vickers micro hardness studies were carried out to understand the mechanical properties of the grown crystal. From the experimental study of nonlinear optics by Kurtz and Perry powder technique, the SHG conversion efficiency of DCBVZ crystal is found to be 1.2 times larger than that of KDP.
