Abstract

In this article, we focus on shock wave impact, optical, chemical etching and thermal analyses of a few technologically sound crystals which have been reported for various constructive applications. Large-size organic, inorganic and semi-organic nonlinear optical single crystals were grown by the Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method to be utilized for different characterizations. UV–Visible spectroscopy was performed to identify the optical transmittance of the grown crystals to ensure their suitability for optical applications. The mechanical study was performed to determine the mechanical stability and the crystals are suggested for laser applications. Chemical etching was carried out to analyse the quality of the surface of the crystals that are recommended for nonlinear optical (NLO) application. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was utilized to examine the thermal behaviour of the grown crystals such that they are proposed for a variety of applications such as ultraviolet transmitting filters, lasers, optical windows and microelectronics devices.
