Abstract

Single crystals of bis(thiourea) cadmium chloride (BTCC), a novel semiorganic nonlinear optical material, were grown from aqueous solutions. The grown crystals were characterized by recording the powder X-ray diffraction pattern and by identifying the diffracting planes. BTCC has a transmission that extends from 285 to 1900 nm. Differential thermal analysis carried out on BTCC indicates that the material does not sublime before it melts at 215°C. The grown crystals were estimated to have a moderate defect density. The mechanical hardness of BTCC was evaluated in the (0 1 0) plane.
