Growth and characterization of Semi organic single crystals of L lysine mono hydrochloride dihydrate and derivatives of l malic acid and phthalic acid

Abstract

Single crystals form an indispensable part of the rapidly advancing newlinetechnology It is the periodic nature of the atoms and the properties arisingdue to the periodicity in crystals that is exploited to meet various newlinetechnological feats The technological revolutions in the semiconductoroptics and communication industries are the examples newlineNonlinear optical NLO crystals have proven to be interesting newlinecandidates for a number of applications such as second harmonic generationfrequency mixing electrooptic modulation etc Semiorganic nonlinear newlinematerials gain importance over inorganic and organic materials because oftheir large polarizability wide transmission window good thermal andmechanical properties In this thesis the materials belonging to the semiorganics newlineare investigated newline newline
