Abstract

The semi-organic single crystal of piperazinium tetrachlorozincate monohydrate (PTCZ) was successfully grown by slow evaporation solution technique (SEST). The grown crystal was subjected to the single crystal XRD studies for confirming the unit cell parameters. The optical quality of the grown crystal was identified by the UV-Vis NIR spectrum analysis and the optical band gap energy was calculated. The photoconductivity study reveals that the grown crystal has positive photoconductive nature. The mechanical stability of the grown crystal was analyzed using Vickers microhardness analyzer. The third-order nonlinear optical properties such as nonlinear refractive index (n2), absorption co-efficient (β) and susceptibility (χ(3)) were studied by Z-scan technique at 640 nm using solid state laser.
