Investigation of 2nd Order Nonlinear Optical Property Semi organic L-Tyrosine Barium Chloride Single Crystal for Photonic applications

New bulk size single crystals of L-Tyrosine Barium Chloride LTBC have been synthesized from the solution prepared from the blend of tyrosine and barium chloride using slow evaporation solution growth method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows the grown crystal crystallized in orthorhombic system with non-centrosymmetric space group P. Fourier transform infrared spectral studies revealed the orientation of discrete functional group in the grown crystal. The optical absorption studies show the material has largish optical transparency in the total visible region. The band gap energy values were also determined by using the optical studies. SHG efficiency was confirmed by Kurtz Perry powder technique. The thermal stability of LTBC crystals was analyzed by DSC technique. The electrical behavior of the crystal was studied by dielectric method. The SEM image expelled the surface morphology of the grown crystal. The hardness values of crystal were estimated by Vickers micro hardness tester and other such properties show the suitableness of the LTBC crystal for photonic and optoelectronic applications.
