Abstract

The potential metalorganic L-proline lithium chloride monohydrate single crystal was grown by slow evaporation method for evaluating optoelectronic device fabrication. From the single crystal XRD studies, the grown crystal was confirmed the molecular packing in monoclinic crystal lattice. The powder XRD data confirm the phase purity of the grown crystal. Vibrational absorption band assignments were recognized by FTIR and FT-Raman spectrum and they confirmed the presence of multiple functional groups in the grown crystal structure. Optical properties of the grown crystal were studied by using transmittance and absorption spectrum of UV–Vis–NIR analysis. The dielectric response of the grown crystal was studied in the frequency range between 50 Hz and 2 MHz for four temperature gradients. From the microhardness study, some mechanical parameters such as fracture toughness, brittleness index and yield strength were calculated. The photoluminescence activity of the grown crystal was deliberate in terms of optical peaks. The amino group participation over the optical scattering nodal regions for generating radiation absorption process to fascinate optical endurance was studied. TG/DTA curve shows that the LPLCM crystal was thermally stable up to 132 °C. The laser damage threshold value of the grown crystal was measured using multishot mode and it was found to be 7.78 GW/cm2. The fractionation of the etching time prevents lattice from over etching and degradation of the mechanical properties of the grown crystal. LPLCM crystal showed higher antibacterial activity against one gram positive and one gram negative bacterial species. Second order nonlinear optical efficiency of the LPLCM crystal was studied at 1064 nm generated by a nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser source.
