Abstract

Nonlinear optical sodium sulfanilate dihydrate (SSD) single crystal was grown by slow evaporation solution method at ambient temperature. Unit cell parameters were elucidated with the study of single crystal X-ray diffraction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses were performed to indentify a variety of functional groups present in the grown SSD crystal. The level of optical transmittance of the grown SSD crystal was investigated by UV–Vis–NIR spectral analysis. The lower cut off wavelength of the grown crystal was observed at 243 nm and the band gap energy is found to be 5.23 eV. The spectral study of photoluminescence was carried out for the grown crystal which shows a sharp emission peak at 485 nm resulting blue–green emission that is suitable for the optical communication applications. Mechanical strength was measured by utilizing Vickers microhardness test and the value of n is found to be 2.25 asserting that the crystal belongs to soft material category. The dielectric properties were studied as a function of frequency at various temperatures and also the grown SSD crystal has been correlated with electro-optic properties. Thermogravimetric analysis was undertaken by a thermal analyzer with the temperature starting from 30 to 800 °C and TGA/DTA results show that the crystal has good thermal stability and useful for laser applications. Etching analysis also was performed for the grown SSD single crystal proving that it has good crystalline nature with fewer defects.
