Abstract
Calcium succinate single crystals were grown by adopting the free evaporation method for the first time and characterized. Powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectral and thermo-gravimetric measurements were carried out to characterize the grown crystals structurally, chemically and thermally. Optical characterization has been done by UV–vis–NIR spectral and second harmonic generation efficiency measurements. Microhardness and dielectric measurements were carried out to characterize mechanically and electrically. The results obtained indicate that the grown crystals exhibit good crystallinity, triclinic lattice structure, reasonable thermal stability (up to 68°C), good transmittance (in the wavelength range from 240 to 1200nm), second harmonic generation, mechanical softness and normal dielectric behavior.
