Abstract:

Cadmium doped l-Cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate (Cd(2+)-C3H7NO2S⋅HCl⋅H2O), a non-linear optical crystal, was grown by conventional as well as unidirectional solution growth techniques. While the dimension of the conventionally grown crystal was 16×14×5mm(3), the dimension of the crystal grown unidirectional method was 32mm long and 6mm diameter. The grown crystals were studied using XRD for phase analysis, HRXRD for crystalline perfection and UV-Vis NIR spectroscopy for optical properties. The high crystalline perfection was found in the crystal grown by unidirectional method than that grown by conventional one. FTIR study indicates that Cd(2+) ion was coordinated to l-Cysteine⋅HCl⋅H2O through S ligand. The nonlinear optical character of the title compound was observed by measuring the SHG efficiency, which is 1.35times to that of KDP by Kurtz technique.
