Abstract :

Optical quality single crystals of Serine Zinc Acetate (SZA) and Cadmium doped Serine Zinc Acetate were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique, to improve the optical properties of the grown crystal. The cell dimensions were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction study and the results of both SZA and Cadmium doped SZA were compared. The various functional groups were identified from FTIR studies, it showed a little violation between pure and metal doped SZA. The optical behavior of the grown materials was analysed through UV-VIS-NIR spectral analyses and gave the transparency range in the visible region. The Vickers microhardness study revealed the hardening nature of the grown materials and it indicates that the metal doped SZA had little improved hardness compared to pure SZA. The TG/DTA studies revealed that metal doped materials are found to be thermally more stable than pure one. The NLO activity of the grown materials was tested by using the Kurtz-Perry powder technique.
