AI Article Synopsis
- - The study successfully grew single crystals of Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHP) doped with varying concentrations of the amino acid l-lysine (0.5 mol%, 1 mol%, and 2 mol%) using a slow evaporation method, leading to noticeable changes in crystal morphology.
- - X-ray diffraction and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the structural changes and successful incorporation of l-lysine into the KHP crystals.
- - Thermal analysis indicated the crystal's dissociating nature, while nonlinear optical tests showed that crystals with 0.5 mol% and 1 mol% l-lysine had enhanced second harmonic generation compared to pure KHP.
Article Abstract
Single crystals of Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate doped with amino acid l-lysine were grown successfully by slow evaporation method. The concentration of dopant in the mother solution was 0.5mol%, 1mol% and 2mol%. There is a drastic change in the morphology due to variation in doping rates which is also reflected in the X-ray diffraction data. The Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy study confirms the incorporation of l-lysine into Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate crystal. The thermal study indicates the dissociating nature of the crystal. The nonlinear optical property of the grown crystal has been confirmed by Kurtz-powder second harmonic generation test. The dopant of 0.5mol% and 1mol% shows higher second harmonic generation result than pure Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate. Results are discussed.
