Growth, Spectral, Optical and Thermal Studies of Sodium Chloride Admixtured L-Alanine (SCLA) Single Crystals

Article Preview

Abstract:

Sodium chloride admixtured L-alanine single crystals of appreciable size were grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The grown crystals were colourless and transparent. The cell parameters of the crystals were estimated by X-ray diffraction studies. The functional groups have been identified by FTIR spectral analysis. UV-Visible transmittance studies were carried out for the grown samples. Powder SHG measurements have been done using Kurtz – Perry powder technique. Thermal studies were carried out to check the thermal stability of the crystals.
