“…[1][2][3][4] In the current era of advanced functional materials it is a thought provoking fact that amino acid assisted organic-metal complex crystals stand out amongst the large regime of semiorganic NLO crystals are subject to an abundance of typical features such as high threshold to laser damage, large nonlinear response, low angular sensitivity, extended donor-acceptor network and high mechanical hardness, which fetches its desirability for practical utility in photonics, optoelectronics, optical modulation, frequency conversion, optical data storage and telecommunication devices. [5][6][7][8] As the presence of closed d 10 shell elec-trons in transition metals manifests a high optical response, [9] hence the growth of promising amino acid metal complex (AAMC) crystal has been an innovative idea which is currently on the verge and actively involves many research groups of the current era. Several potential AAMC crystals exhibiting an appreciable linear and nonlinear optical response are L -alanine sodium nitrate (LASN), [10] L -proline lithium bromide (LPLB), [11] L -alanine potassium chloride (LAPC), [12] L -valine cadmium chloride (LVCC), [13] bis L -proline cadmium iodide (BLPC), [14] L -alanine cadmium chloride, [15] Lproline magnesium chloride, [16] and L -proline cadmium chloride (LPCC).…”

In the current investigation, L -proline cadmium chloride monohydrate (LPCC) single crystal is grown by a slow solvent evaporation technique to identify its credibility for nonlinear optical device applications. The constituent elements of LPCC crystal are determined by the energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) technique. The single crystal x-ray diffraction technique is used to determine the structural dimensions of LPCC crystal. The UV-visible studies are carried out within a wavelength range of 200 nm–1100 nm to determine the optical transmittance of LPCC crystal. The linear optical parameters of LPCC crystal are evaluated using the transmittance data to discuss its importance for distinct optical devices. The Nd:YAG laser assisted Kurtz–Perry test is carried out to determine the enhancement in second harmonic generation efficiency of LPCC crystal with reference to KDP crystal. The Z-scan technique is employed to assess the third order nonlinear optical (TONLO) properties of LPCC crystal at 632.8 nm. The Z-scan data are utilized to evaluate the TONLO refraction, absorption and susceptibility of LPCC crystal. The color oriented luminescence behavior of LPCC crystal is investigated within a spectral range of 350 nm–700 nm. The dependence of dielectric constant and dielectric loss on temperature and frequency is evaluated through the dielectric measurement studies.

“…This latest salt is by far the most interesting member within this family: As the large, optical quality single crystals can be grown (Fig. 4.1), several studies of crystal physical properties such as piezoelectric, pyroelectric, elastic, and dielectric properties were published (Fleck et al 2008b;Sugandhi et al 2013;Tylczyński and Wiesner 2014, and references therein). Moreover, optical properties have been investigated, as the species was found to be a many-phonon SRS crystal manifesting different nonlinear laser (χ (3) + χ (2) ) interactions under one-micron picosecond pumping (Kaminskii et al 2009).…”

Salts of Amino Acids

In this chapter we present salts composed of amino acids combined with inorganic cations and anions. These salts generally contain amino acids in neutral, i.e., zwitterionic form, with the charges balanced by the cations and anions. However, some of the phases resented here contain cations, anions, and amino acids, but the amino acids are not in neutral form, as, e.g., glycinate À Cu, but for reasons of similarity, they are included in this chapter. The variation of salts (and thus the number of species) is even greater as for salts of amino acids and cations, as a multitude of combinations of amino acids, cations, and anions is possible. Additionally, different hydration states are often found, as well as different ratios of components. Thus, there are several instances of systems containing more than one phase (e.g., the system glycine-zinc-chloride-water). Despite the greater variation, many coordination patterns found in the salts described in the previous chapter recur in the salts reported here. Likewise, the connectivities of units are similar as those found in salts of amino acids and cations. Instances of materials with noteworthy physical properties are presented. Keywords Introducing RemarksAs stated before, this chapter deals with salts of amino acids and neutral, inorganic salts. In these species, the amino acid usually exists in zwitterionic form, but it is still coordinated to a cation. As other anions are present, the amino acids are not the only possible ligands. These anions can act as additional ligands (plus possible water molecules as well). Moreover, in some cases the inorganic anions are not part of the coordination spheres, but located in the interstices between units composed of cations and coordinating amino acids.M. Fleck and A.M.

Nonlinear optical materials have been investigated recently due to their potential technological applications in information storage and communications. In this context, semi-organic crystals can effectively combine the desired nonlinear optical properties of amino acids with the promising mechanical and thermal properties of inorganic materials. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized a semi-organic crystal of the amino acid l-histidine and hydrofluoric acid and investigated the chemical interactions between the organic and inorganic moieties. The crystal of l-histidine bis(fluoride) has been produced by slow solvent evaporation and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallography and thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses. The XRD conducted using the Rietveld method shows that the unit cell is orthorhombic with the P21212 space group and contains four l-histidine bis(fluoride) units. Both differential thermal analysis and temperature-dependent XRD show that the crystals are thermally stable up to 191°C and do not undergo phase transition. The computational Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure reveals the main intermolecular interactions. Density functional theory has been employed to calculate the ionic interaction energy and electrostatic potential maps and confirm the spontaneity of ionic association at 191°C. The combined experimental and computational results show that the thermal stability of the semi-organic l-histidine bis(fluoride) crystal makes it suitable for nonlinear optical applications in optical sensing and communication systems.
