A semi-organic nonlinear optical crystal of L-alanine nickel chloride (LAN) has been successfully grown by a slow evaporation solution method. The single-crystal x-ray diffraction technique determined the lattice parameters of the crystal. Fourier-transform infrared spectral analysis confirmed the functional groups present in the crystal lattice. The crystal was subjected to UV–Visible-NIR transmittance measurements, and its band-gap energy was determined using transmittance studies. A Nyquist plot was used to determine the crystal's bulk resistance and dc conductivity. Fluorescence analysis was performed on the crystal, and green visible light was emitted from it when it was excited by UV light. Microhardness measurements were made on the crystal, and numerous parameters were analyzed. We studied the crystal's nonlinear optical properties, while its magnetic properties were determined using a vibrating sample magnetometer. TGA/DTA analysis was performed on the crystal, and it was found that its Second-harmonic Generation efficiency was more than that of the standard KDP sample. Hence, this crystal could be useful in laser technology, optical communication, optical computing, optical data processing, and photonics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
