Progress in crystal growth and characterization methods lead to the exploration of novel materials with potential nonlinear optical properties. In this study, a nonlinear optical crystal of L-serine-doped succinic acid (LSSA) was grown via a slow evaporation process at 30 °C with the use of ethanol as a solvent. The grown crystals were characterized using a variety of techniques, including single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Fourier transforms infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV–Vis spectroscopy, Second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements, and Thermogravimetry and differential thermal (TG/DTA) analysis. According to XRD analysis, the produced LSSA samples crystallized in the P21 monoclinic space group. The existence of several functional groups and types of vibration in the sample was confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. UV spectroscopy has verified the crystals' wide transparency across the UV–visible range of electromagnetic radiation. The bandgap of LSSA has been calculated as 5.28 eV. The SHG test reveals the generation of second harmonic signals from the powdered samples. The TG/DTA experiments traced the thermal behavior of the as-grown LSSA crystals from 50 to 800 °C. The results revealed that the as-grown LSSA may be a potential nonlinear optical material for use in photonics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
