Abstract
AbstractThe slow evaporation solution growth technique is used to grow single crystals of 2-phenylbenzimidazole (2PBMZ). The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system with space group C2/c, which is revealed through the single crystal XRD. The cutoff wavelength and optical band gap energy of the 2PBMZ crystal were observed at 568 nm and 1.96 ev respectively. The Vickers (Hv) hardness number, yield strength and stiffness constant are calculated, which is found to increase with the applied load. The Z-scan technique with He–Ne laser (632.8 nm) has been used to study the third-order nonlinear optical property of 2PBMZ crystal.Keywords: Crystal growthVickers MicrohardnessZ-Scan AcknowledgmentsThe authors are also thankful to VIT University for providing excellent research support.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1966, Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals is a world-leading journal publishing original research papers in both an experimental and theoretical nature in three areas of specialization: liquid crystals, molecular crystals, and low-dimensional solids. These cover, but are not limited to:
Liquid Crystals:
-Electro- and magneto-optical phenomena; thermodynamics; phase transitions; structure; NMR and orientation-controlled spectroscopy; theory.
Molecular Crystals:
-Spectroscopy; energy and charge transfer; solid state reactions; photo and radiation effects
Low-dimensional Solids:
-Structure, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties; transport mechanisms
The journal publishes research papers, review papers, and book reviews. In all three areas, experimental manuscripts describing both preparation and properties will be considered. Papers that describe determination of crystal structure alone are not encouraged unless some solid state forces (hydrogen bonding, charge transfer, etc.) are playing a significant role and/or some solid state properties of the materials are measured.
