Abstract
SO3NH3 (Sulfamic acid, or SA) is known for its excellent piezoelectric and optical properties, making it valuable for various optical applications. However, it usually takes weeks to months to grow the SA single crystals with centimeter-scale size by traditional growth method from solution. In this study, we use (CH3)3SBr (Me3SBr) as an additive to enhance the growth rate of SA single crystals, and the growth time was reduced to just 48 h. The mechanism of accelerated crystallization process is attributed to the variations of electrostatic potential and binding energy on SA crystal modified by the additive. In addition, structural analysis and basic characterization on the newly grown SA are performed, and first-principles calculations provide insights into the energy band structure and phonon spectrum.
