Abstract

Single crystals of γ-glycine in the presence of sodium formate were grown first time by slow evaporation method at room temperature. Crystalline nature of the material was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Solubility of the material was determined by gravimetric method. UV–Vis–NIR analysis were carried out to find the optical absorbance of the material. The presence of functional group was confirmed by Fourier Transform-Infrared analysis (FT-IR). Thermal stability and decomposition of the grown crystal were studied by Thermo gravimetric/Differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) revealed the presence of elements in the grown crystal. The nonlinear optical response of the grown crystal was confirmed by Q-switched Nd-YAG laser and second harmonic generation efficiency of the grown crystal was found to be greater than that of KDP.
