Abstract

The semi-organic nonlinear optical single crystal of L-glutamic acid hydrochloride was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The cell parameters of the grown crystal were estimated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The presence of various functional groups was identified from Fourier transform infrared analysis. The transmission spectrum of this crystal show that the lower cut-off wavelength lies at 248 nm. Thermal analysis was performed to study the thermal stability of the grown crystal. The Kurtz powder second harmonic generation test shows that the crystal is a potential candidate for optical second harmonic generation. Mechanical properties of the grown crystal were determined and Vickers' hardness number was calculated.
