Abstract

Simple gel technique was used to grow single crystals of calcium iodate, monohydrate, by single diffusion method. For the growth of crystals, the optimum conditions were established. Morphologies and habit faces like prismatic, prismatic pyramidal crystals were obtained. Few crystals were opaque, some were translucent and some good quality transparent crystals were obtained. Doping of Cu+2 and Fe+3 was done, to study the effect on structure, thermal and nonlinear optical properties. Cell parameters were obtained from the X-ray diffractograms. Structural analysis was done by using FT-IR spectroscopy. TGA and DTA techniques were used to carry out thermal analysis. Nonlinear optical properties were studied using SHG measurements.
