Abstract
A single crystal of L-arginine Hydrobromide Monohydrate (LAHBr) with excellent crystalline perfection was grown by a modified way of unidirectional technique. The criteria behind this modified version were to reduce the temperature gradient of the solution which will enhance the quality of the single crystal. The formation of the crystal was confirmed by calculating lattice parameters from powder x-ray diffraction technique. The quality of the single crystal was analyzed by high-resolution x-ray diffraction which suggests that single crystal was free from grain boundaries and have the value full width half maxima is 9.36 arc second. Owing to high crystallinity, the single crystal was further underwent mechanical analysis using nanoindentation technique. Its structural, as well as physical transformation have been assessed by laser and shock damage threshold techniques. The presence of surface defects was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and it is in tune with the high resolution x-ray diffraction method.
