Effect of zinc acetate addition on crystal growth, structural, optical, thermal properties of glycine single crystals

Selective crystallization of gamma glycine for NLO applications using magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) as an additive

“…From the thorough literature study of glycine polymorphs it was concluded that metastable αpolymorphic form of glycine produces spontaneously in pure aqueous solutions whereas the most thermodynamically stable form γ-glycine can be obtained in acidic or basic solution, low pH or high pH solutions or in the presence of inorganic salts or tailor made additives [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][19][20][21][22]. In recent times, γ-glycine single crystals have grown in the presence of potassium chloride [31], magnesium chloride [15], phosphoric acid [16], ammonium acetate [17], ammonium carbonate [18], zinc acetate [23], strontium chloride [29], cesium chloride [30] and ammonia solutions [24]. In the present research article, we report the growth and characterization of γ-glycine crystal grown from a mixture of water and magnesium sulfate solvent by slow solvent evaporation procedure.…”

Growth and Charactersation of L-Serine Doped Pottassium Dihydrogen Phosphate Crystal

“…Hence by modifying the absorption coefficient and tuning the band gap of the material, one can achieve the desired material which is suitable for fabricating various layers of the optoelectronic devices as per our requirements. [14]. Extinction coefficient (K) can be obtained from the following equation:…”
