Abstract

A novel good non-linear optical (NLO) pristine and glycine-doped l-Valine Potassium chloride (GLVP) crystals were grown via a slow evaporation process at room temperature. The as-grown LVP and GLVP crystals were characterized by powder XRD, FT-IR, FT-NMR, UV–Vis optical absorption, PL spectra, DGA/TGA and SHG assessments. The UV–Vis optical absorbance and transmittance spectra identified that the grown crystals have identical decent absorption in the visible-light region, thereby advising it as the proper optical material for NLO applications. The optical bandgap (Eg) could be calculated by extrapolating the linear part, and it was originated to be 5.21 and 5.38 eV for as-grown LVP and GLVP crystals, respectively. The total decay temperatures and thermal steadiness were evaluated by DGA/TGA analysis. Colour-oriented luminescence performance by PL emission spectra displays that the violet-blue emission bands over the robust peaks are situated at ~ 425 and 595 nm relatively. The NLO properties were authorized by the SHG efficiency test using the Kurtz–Perry powder method.
