Zinc thiourea chloride (ZTC) is a well known semiorganic NLO material for various optoelectronics applications. On the other hand amino acids play a vital role in the field of optical nonlinearity due to the presence of NH2 and COOH groups. Hence it is of interest to use amino acids as dopant in the nonlinear optical materials so as to study the change in optical property of nonlinear materials. In the present investigation we have grown Glycine doped ZTC crystal and its optical properties were studied. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency test of Glycine doped ZTC salt was carried out by the Kurtz Perry powder technique. We observed increase in SHG efficiency of ZTC after addition of Glycine, and it was found that the SHG efficiency of ZTC salt increases by 9 times when it was doped with 3 mole % Glycine. We have observed a 9 time enhancement in SHG efficiency of Glycine doped ZTC crystal when it was doped with 3mole% of Glycine. The incorporation of Glycine in ZTC was confirmed by the FTIR and EDAX analysis. The effect of Glycine on the optical transmission in the visible and ultra violet regions were studied by the UV-Visible spectral spectra. The thermogravimetric analysis suggests that incorporation of Glycine in the ZTC decreases thermal stability of the grown crystal.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
