Abstract

The influence of tartaric acid, an amino acid on NLO properties of DSHP crystal has been studied in the present investigation. Single crystals of tartaric acid doped Di-sodium hydrogen phosphate (DSHP) and tartaric acid mixed DSHP were grown by low temperature solution growth method. The enhancement in SHG efficiency after addition of 5mole% doped tartaric acid and 50% doped (mixed) tartaric acid were observed by Kurtz Powder SHG test. It was found that the SHG efficiencies of DSHP after addition of 5mole% tartaric acid is 2.87 and in tartaric acid mixed it is 10 times more than pure DSHP. The solubility of the materials for different temperatures has been studied. The crystal structure and cell parameters were determined by X- ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups were identified by FT-IR spectral analysis. UV-visible spectral spectra show maximum transmission in the visible range of grown tartaric acid crystals. The grown crystals were subjected to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to study thermal decomposition and weight loss.
