Abstract

Single crystals also play a vital role in the emerging technologies such as lasers, light emitting diodes, fibre optic communication components, solar cell, nonlinear optical devices, microelectronic components, transducers, memory elements and pyroelectric detectors. These are all the part of solid state devices that exist due to strong influence of single crystals as a result of recent development in technologies. Growth of large size single crystals of l-histidine hydrochloride monohydrate (LHHM) grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies confirm that the grown crystal belongs to orthorhombic crystal system with space group P212121. The electrical properties such as plasma energy, Penn gap, Fermi energy and polarizability were calculated to analyze second harmonic generation (SHG). In addition, nonlinear optical properties were already performed to confirm the SHG efficiency of the grown crystal. Hence, LHHM is an excellent NLO material with enhanced SHG efficiency required for important applications in the field of optoelectronic and photonics.
