Enhancement of the crystalline perfection of <0 0 1> directed KDP single crystal

Influence of amaranth dye on the growth and properties of KDP single crystal

“…So, it is important to know the threshold intensities of the crystal can withstand without getting damaged [27]. High laser damage threshold is a significant parameter for NLO crystal.…”

“…The hardness of the material depends on several parameters such as Debye temperature, lattice energy, heat of formation and inter-atomic spacing [26][27][28]. For load dependence of Vickers microhardness measurement, the indentation time was constant at 5 s. The diagonal lengths of the indented impression were measured for different loads varying from 5 to 200 g. The consecutive indentations were made at various sites of the sample surface.…”

Effect of l-tyrosine on the solubility, growth, structural, optical, SHG, dielectric and mechanical properties of KDP single crystals

“…Therefore amino acids are found to be more efficient candidates as dopants in growing inorganic crystals. In our earlier papers more results have been found on h0 0 1i directed KDP [20] and glycine added KDP [21].…”

Growth of K2CO3-doped KDP crystal from an aqueous solution and an investigation of its physical properties

“…9 The laser damage threshold (LDT) of nonlinear optical components depends on physical and chemical factors, particularly imperfections, defects and the concentration and type of the impurities, etc. 10 The LDT of the grown pure and 2M%-K 2 CO 3 -doped KDP single crystals was carried out using a Nd:YAG laser with the wavelength 1064 nm and shot-to-shot mode, with an energy per pulse of 50 mJ, a repetition rate of 10 Hz, a pulse duration of 7 ns, a beam waist of 0.0841 mm and a spot diameter of 2.3 mm.…”
