Ethanol-assisted synthesis and characterization of semiorganic lithium para-nitrophenolate dihydrate single crystals
Abstract
A semiorganic lithium para-nitrophenolate dihydrate (LiPNP center dot 2H2O) nonlinear optical crystal with a dimension of 18x11x4mm3\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$18 \times 11 \times 4\,{\text{mm}}<^>{3}$$\end{document} has been grown by slow evaporation method in a rapid growth period of 20 days by using ethanol as solvent. Powder X-ray diffraction studies revealed the crystal belong to monoclinic crystal system with space group of P21. The optical transmission study revealed a wider transparency with the lower cut-off wavelength of 457 nm and an optical bandgap of 2.91 eV. The emission properties, functional groups, and mechanical stability of the obtained crystal were determined by Photoluminescence, FTIR spectral analysis, and Vickers's microhardness measurements. The electrical conductivity and thermal stability were examined through electrochemical impedance (EIS) and TG-DTA analysis. The Second harmonic generation efficiency (SHG) of the crystal was found to be 2.6 times greater than that of the standard KDP. Therefore, LiPNP center dot 2H2O crystal with high SHG efficiency could be a suitable candidate for nonlinear optical and optoelectronic device applications due to its optical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
