Abstract
Single crystals of Lithium Hydrogen phthalate dihydrate (LHP), a semi-organic nonlinear optical material have been successfully grown from aqueous solution, by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystals in size 40×10× 5 mm3 were grown in a period of 2 weeks. The grown crystals were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. LHP crystallizes in Pnm space group of Orthorhombic system, with the unit-cell dimensions at 293(2) K; a = 16.8356(10) Å; b = 6.8187(5) Å; c = 8.1967(6) Å; α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°. Third order non-liner studies have also been studied by Z-scan techniques. Nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index were found out and the third order bulk susceptibility of compound was also estimated.
