Abstract

Aqueous solution was used for creating a neoteric organic nonlinear optical L-Arginium 3,3-dimethylacrylate (ADMA) crystals using a slow evaporation solution approach. The crystal that was removed from the solution was analysed in terms of optical properties, spectral characteristics, and hardness testing. The crystallographic parameters were determined, and the crystal has a position in the orthorhombic system and the cell parameters found to be a = 5.7476 Å, b = 22.156 Å, and c = 11.2059 Å. The ADMA crystal's UV–Vis spectral analysis was documented, revealing that it possesses a sizable transmission window over the whole visible spectrum and has a lower cut -off wavelength around 251 nm. Tauc's plot was generated to determine the bandgap energy of the ADMA crystal which was 4.94 eV. By FT-Infrared & FT-Raman spectrum analysis, numerous resonance modes and functional groups were identified. The grain boundary flaw in the crystal was identified by SEM investigation. The EDAX experiment explained the well combination of the all the compounds in the grown crystal. To identify the emission and excitation peaks of the produced ADMA crystal, the behaviour of fluorescence was also examined. Red luminescence is caused by the peak 647 nm in the fluorescence emission. To determine the crystal's mechanical characteristics, a microhardness test was conducted. The crystal belongs to soft material category because it has hardening coefficient “n” of 2.69. The L-Arginium 3,3-dimethylacrylate (ADMA) crystal is suitable for optical applications, according to the third-order nonlinear research and the other selected investigations.
