Abstrakt: l-Arginine picrate crystals doped with nickel chloride (APCN) is a semi-organic material grown by slow evaporation method at ambient temperature. APCN was characterized by the powder XRD, IR, TG-DTA, SEM-EDS. Monoclinic system of APCN was confirmed by the powder XRD analysis. The functional group of APCN is characterized and confirmed by the FT-IR spectroscopy. Thermal behaviour of APCN was analysed by the TG-DTA and the APCN is stable up to 190 °C. The rectangular needle shape morphology of APCN is explained by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy confirms the presence of elements in APCN. The optical behaviour APCN explained by the UV–Visible spectrum reveals the maximum absorption at 359 nm with band gap energy 2.73 eV. The fluorescence spectrum indicates the maximum emission at 508 nm which leads to green emission. The APCN crystal exhibits second-order NLO properties which is analysed by the SHG technique and emit green light [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
