Abstract
In present work, bulk size (∼5 cm in length and 2 cm in dia.) single crystal of glycine zinc sulfate (GZS) was harvested from Sanakaranarayan - Ramasamy (SR) technique. The harvested crystal was exposed to in-depth study of its physical properties such as: optical, nonlinear and mechanical. Moreover, the DFT is also applied to study the molecular geometry, optical and nonlinear characteristics. XRD study confirms the formation of GZS crystal which was further confirmed through vibrational analysis. Optical absorbance and transmittance measurements were carried out. The grown crystal was found to be ∼80% transparent in wavelength from 300 to 950 nm and the band gap was estimated to be ∼4.6 eV. The respective μtot and βtot values are obtained about 3.6 times and 15 times larger compared to urea which confirm the application of GZS in NLO devices. The robust chemical etching and mechanical properties has been studied by applying different models.
