Growth of picrates, acid adduct and Potassium sodium tartrate crystals And their characterization

Abstract

newlineCrystals are the unacknowledged pillars of the world of modern newlineTechnology Crystal growth is basically a process of arranging atoms ions newlinemolecules or molecular assemblies into regular three dimensional periodic newlinearrays The growth of single crystals and their characterization towards device newlinefabrication have assumed great impetus due to their significance in both newlineacademic and applied research The first chapter presents an outline to various newlinecrystal growth and characterization techniques and a brief description of newlinenonlinear optics newlineGrowth of single crystals can be regarded as a phase transformation newlineinto the solid state from the solid liquid or vapour state Crystals were grown newlineby solution growth technique The grown crystals were subjected to various newlinecharacterization tools to study their properties The present work is aimed at newlinethe growth and characterization of picrates, acid adduct newline2 methylimidazolium hydrogen succinate 2 6 diaminopyridinium newline4 nitrophenolate 4 nitrophenol and a comparative study on conventional newlinesolution and unidirectional method grown potassium sodium tartrate newlinetetrahydrate single crystals newline
