Influence of potassium bromide on the growth of succinic acid crystals

Abstract

Succinic acid doped with KBr crystals with attractive optical property like non linearity was grown by proper synthesis. The crystal was grown by utilizing slow evaporation technique from the solution taking water as solvent. At room temperature the growth of crystal arises maintain constant rate of evaporation results in a formation of transparent crystals with high optical quality. Non volatile devices with high memory fabricated with ferroelectric materials observers the concentration of the researchers. Actually the ferroelectric materials have sufficient capability function as an actuator with high permittivity, good piezoelectric behaviour to create new NLO device. The following investigations were carried out to confirm the grown crystals. Single crystal and Powder X-ray diffraction studies were carried out to confirm the crystal structure, UV–Visible studies for transparency and TGA/DSC for thermal stability. Finally the NLO property was determined by SHG efficiency.
