Abstract
A potentially useful semi organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material glycine with barium nitrate and potassium nitrate (GBNPN) has been synthesized by slow evaporation technique. Good transparent GBNPN crystals were obtained in a time span of 3 weeks. The grown crystals were characterized by single crystal/powder XRD, UVvisIR absorption, FTIR, thermal analysis and powder SHG measurements have been studied. The grown crystals were thermally stable up to 137.53°C. The GBNPN crystal exhibits second harmonic generation efficiency of about 1.35 times than that of potassium di hydrogen phosphate (KDP). Mechanical properties such as micro hardness (Hv) and Mayer's index, n, have been carried out by indentation method. The refractive index (μ) has been measured by the Brewster's angle method.
