Growth features of ammonium hydrogend-tartrate single crystals

Abstract

Ammonium hydrogen d-tartrate (d-AHT) single crystals were grown in silica gel. The growth features of these crystals with variation of parameters like specific gravity of the gel, gel pH, acid concentrations, concentration of the feed solution and gel age were studied in detail.

Characterization of pure and doped potassium hydrogen tartrate single crystals grown in silica gel

“…The doping of foreign ion is reported to greatly influence the growth kinetics, morphology and second harmonic efficiency of tartrate crystals [13][14][15][16]. Among the several tartrate compounds, ammonium hydrogen tartrate and rubidium hydrogen tartrate have received greater attention because of their applications in transducers and in several linear and non-linear devices [17,18]. These two belong to the important class of hydrogen tartrate compounds with general formula MHC 4 H 4 O 6 .…”

Growth and Physical Properties of Pure and Manganese Doped Strontium Tartrate Trihydrate Single Crystals

“…The presence of two hydroxyl as well as two carbonyl groups in tartaric acid permits the ready incorporation of monovalent, divalent or trivalent metal ions [1]. Mainly tartrate crystals possess application as dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric materials [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. They are used in the fabrication of nonlinear optical (NLO) devices such as crystal oscillators and resonators based on their optical second harmonic generation (SHG), optical transmission characteristics, and controlled laser emission [2].…”

Micromechanical behaviour of gel grown pure and doped potassium hydrogen tartrate single crystals

“…These two have received greater attention because of their applications in transducers and in several linear and non‐linear devices 29. Growth of these two compounds using gel method and their mechanical properties have been reported in the literature 30–33. Though growth of KHT has been reported in the literature 34 but there is no report on their characteristics.…”
