Single crystals of L-asparagine doped ammonium tetroxalate dihydrate were grown using slow evaporation solution growth technique with deionized water as a solvent. The shift and intensity of the peaks in the single crystal X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared analyses confirmed the inclusion of L-asparagine in the ammonium tetroxalate dihydrate crystal structure. The optical transmission characteristics viz. optical band gap, optical conductivity, etc., were determined. Thermal studies revealed the occurrence of anomalies at 135.3 °C and 221.7 °C leading to the possibility of phase transitions and thereby, ferroelectric behavior. Vickers microhardness studies enabled determination of various microhardness parameters. Dielectric behavior was analyzed by varying the temperature and frequency. Anomalies were observed at 135 °C and 221 °C suggesting the existence of ferroelectric nature of the compound. Self-defocusing effect was observed. The polarization-electric field hysteresis loops showed a pinched effect due to defects induced by inclusion of dopant. The crystals were characterized by single crystal XRD, FT-IR, DRS, UV-Vis-NIR, Vickers microhardness test as well as thermal and dielectric techniques. In brief, L-asparagine as a dopant in ammonium tetroxalate dihydrate altered various physical properties of the crystals. They were highly transparent in the visible region with a wider optical band gap, softer material than the parent, higher phase transition temperature of 135 °C, negative nonlinearity and self-defocusing ability.

The optically colorless l-asparagine thioacetamide (LATA) single crystal was grown by the slow evaporation method at room temperature with water as a solvent. The lattice parameters of the grown crystal have been analyzed by the single crystal X-ray diffraction and it belongs to orthorhombic system with space group P212121. The crystalline nature of the title material was confirmed by powder XRD analysis. The functional groups were confirmed by using FT-IR spectral analysis. The grown crystal has a UV cut-off wavelength at 236 nm and various optical parameters were analyzed theoretically by using UV–Visible transmittance data. The enhancement of second harmonic generation efficiency of LATA crystal was found to be 2.4 times higher than that of standard KDP. The laser damage threshold of LATA crystal is determined as 13.47 J/cm2 by using Nd–YAG laser operated at 1064 nm. In the photoluminescence spectrum, the sharp emission peak was noticed at 470 nm which implies the blue emission. The grown crystal shows the positive photoconductive nature. The fluctuation of dielectric permittivity (Ɛo) and dielectric loss (tan δ) were analyzed at different temperatures as a function of frequency. The grown crystal was thermally stable up to 110.38 °C and it was assessed by (TG/DTA) analysis. The Vickers microhardness test was accomplished to identify the mechanical stability of the grown crystal. Hence, LATA crystal is the most suitable material for the optoelectronic device applications.
