Abstract

We have prepared pure and divalent vanadyl ion-doped magnesium rubidium sulfate hexahydrate crystals by using slow evaporation solution growth technique. It is interesting to observe that Vo(II) doping influences the physical properties of MRSH. Presence of Vo(II) ions in the doped specimen was confirmed by energy dispersive spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. FTIR studies reveal that the doping of vanadium ion has not altered the basic structure of MRSH. Scanning electron microscope studies of doped sample reveals that structure defect centers are formed in the crystals. Gradual decomposition patterns were observed for pure and doped specimens in thermogravimetry and differential thermogravimetry. The grown crystals were also characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The second harmonic generation efficiency tested using Kurtz powder technique is not influenced by the added dopant.
