L-alanine is one of the simplest amino acids like glycine and it is a non-centrosymmetic crystal. Its nonlinear optical (NLO) property is highly pronounced when L-alanine is mixed with a non-centrosymmetric organic acid such as picric acid. In this work, L-alanine alaninium picrate (LAAP) salt was synthesized by making reaction between L-alanine and picric acid. Single crystals of LAAP salt were grown by slow evaporation technique. XRD studies reveal the monoclinic structure of the sample. EDAX study was used to identify the elemental composition of the grown crystal. Etching studies were carried out to see the etch pit patterns of LAAP crystal. Second-order and third-order studies were carried out for LAAP sample to analyze the nonlinear optical activity. UV-visible transmittance spectrum of LAAP crystal was recorded to find transparency and optical cut-off wavelength. Also dielectric studies were carried out to observe the electrical processes that are taking place in the LAAP 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.
