Abstract

ion doped L-Histidine hydrochloride was successfully grown for the first time by slow evaporation technique. The structural parameters wereobtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction spectrum. The XRD spectrum reveals the grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic crystal system with space group P212121. Functional groups of the grown crystal were identified from FT-IR spectral analysis. The optical band gap and optical coefficient ofthe grown crystal were calculated by UV-Visible spectroscopy. The chemical composition of the grown crystal was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis. The thermal stability of the grown crystal was investigated by thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) measurement. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency for the grown crystal was measured by Kurtz Perry powder technique. The SHG efficiency of the gadolinium (III) ion doped L-Histidine hydrochloride is found to 1.2 times greater than that of pure L-Histidine hydrochloride..
