Surface Morphology and Shape Analysis of Nonlinear Optical Crystal DAST

Article Preview

Abstract:

DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methyl stilbazolium tosylate) crystal has been grown by slope nucleation method (SNM) at different cooling rates (0.5°С/d and 0.1°С/d). The morphology of crystal growing surfaces was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and microscope. Different growth striations were found on the growth surfaces. The arrangements of crystal ions and cooling rate have a great influence on the crystal shape. The relationship between the DAST crystal molecular structure and the crystal shape was systematically studied by analyzing the growing surface morphology. Two-dimensional nucleation mechanism was found on growing faces with increasing supersaturation.
