Abstract

ZTS has been grown using a slow evaporation technique at ambient temperature, and the l-alanine-doped ZTS was likewise prepared. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Vickers’s micro hardness test have all been used to analyse growing crystals. Both pure ZTS and l-Alanine-doped ZTS crystals have an orthorhombic structure. l-alanine doped ZTS had greater second harmonic generation (SHG) conversion efficiency. l-alanine doped ZTS crystals had a higher hardness than a pure ZTS sample. UV spectral analysis indicates that both crystals have excellent UV and visible transmission. Doping with l-alanine resulted in an increase in the melting point of the pure ZTS crystal.Graphical abstract
