Abstract

The current article is the first to study the influence of an anionic dye on the properties of a single sulphamic acid crystal (SA). By using a slow evaporation method, single crystals of pure and methyl orange (MO)-doped sulphamic acid (MOSA) were synthesized. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the crystalline nature of the grown crystals. The Scherrer method was employed to calculate the crystallite size of both formed crystals and was compared to the W–H method. The presence of several functional groups was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. At the site where MO dye was incorporated into the SA lattice, UV–Vis–NIR absorption spectra revealed three different absorption bands. Based on transmittance measurements, different optical constants such as optical band gap (Eg), extinction coefficient (k), refractive index (n) and optical conductivity (σ) were determined for both the samples. The thermal stability and decomposition temperature of doped crystals were found to be substantially enhanced. The doped crystal's increased optical characteristics and thermal stability prove that they are viable for optoelectronic applications.
