Comparative Study on the Properties of BTCS and BTCZS Crystals Grown by Slow Evaporation Method

Abstract:

Good quality Bisthiourea Cadmium Sulphate (BTCS) and Bisthiourea Cadmium Zinc Sulphate (BTCZS) crystals have been grown by simple slow evaporation method. The grown crystals were found to be transparent in the entire visible region. From the powder X-ray diffractograms it is concluded that BTCS crystal belongs to orthorhombic system, whereas BTCZS crystals belong to monoclinic system. From the FTIR comparative study of BTCS and BTCZS, it is observed that when Zinc is added into BTCS crystal, there is a decrease in the frequency of symmetric C=S stretching and an increase in the frequency of N-H asymmetric stretching vibration. UV-Vis studies show that the grown crystals have high transparency in entire visible region. The Vicker’s microhardness results show that the addition of Zinc with Bisthiourea Cadmium Sulphate reduces the hardness of the crystal.
