Abstract

A semiorganic nonlinear optical material L-valine cadmium bromide was synthesized and single crystal grown from an aqueous solution by the method of slow evaporation technique at room temperature. The grown crystal was characterized by Powder X-ray diffraction and FT IR studies. The LVCB crystallizes in monoclinic system with cell parameters a=10.144(2)Å, b=5.54(1)Å, c=12.07(2)Å, β=109.115(2)° with space group P21. Thermal behavior and stability of crystal were studied using thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) techniques. The suitability of this material for NLO application was studied by optical absorption studies and second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurement by Kurtz–Perry powder method.
