Effect of Dicarboxylic Acid Dopant on ADP Crystal by Slow Evaporation Method

Abstract

Abstract Influence of dicarboxylic acid dopant on growth and characterization of ADP crystal were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The transparent (ADFU) crystals are yield after a period of 15 days. The X-ray diffraction study reveals that ADFU crystal belongs to tetragonal system. The vibrational modes of grown crystal were confirmed by FTIR spectral analysis. In UV-Vis spectral analysis the absorbance is low than pure ADP which reveals that NLO active of grown crystal is more. The emission spectrum of grown crystal was studied using fluorescence spectral analysis. The nonlinear optical property was analyzed using Kurtz-Perry technique, the SHG efficiency of ADFU crystal has much higher than that of pure ADP. The mechanical behavior includes binding nature and strength for the grown crystal was investigated by Vickers microhardness test.
