Influence Of Zinc Chloride On The Structural, Optical, Mechanical And Nlo Properties Of Diglycine Picrate (Dgp) Single Crystal

Diglycine Picrate (DGP) and zinc chloride doped DGP crystals were grown by solution growth method using slow evaporation technique. EDS spectrum of the doped crystals are taken to confirm the presence of the dopants. The lattice parameters are obtained through single crystal XRD study. The powder XRD spectrum helps to prove the crystalline nature of the crystal and also to identify planes present in the crystals. The UV-Vis-NIR study reveals the optical property of the grown crystals. The hardness behavior of the crystals is analyzed by using Vickers microhardness test. The NLO efficiency of the grown crystals was measured through powder Kurtz and Perry technique.
