Investigations on the effect of nano Fe₃O₄-doped anthracene single crystal

Remarkable Enhancement on Optical Properties of Alkali Metals Doped Anthracene Crystals

“…This relative change in the ionic radii of the respective metal ions (K + >Na + >Li + ) occupies large crystal lattice and may favours the crystallinity with subsequent growth along (–2 0 2) plane . The presence of the alkali impurities also alters the external morphology (as shown in Figure ) without changing the monoclinic crystal structure which was found to be in agreement with our previously reported work …”

“…The simultaneous recorded plot of thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) for both pure and metal doped crystals were shown in Figure & respectively. TG analysis shows that there is negligible weight loss upto 180 °C and DTA show that the samples undergo sharp endothermic reaction as a function of increasing temperature with the phase transition at 215 °C for the grown AN crystal . The presence of metal ions of (different density) onto the AN lattice results in the increase of phase transition temperature.…”

“…Thus the growth of anthracene and tuning its inherent properties via doping using a simple solution growth method becomes primary importance in the research community . Anthracene crystal doped with metal ions which become potential candidate material for optical applications . The pronounced anisotropy of molecular orbital energy results in the addition or removal of electrons onto the anthracene molecule has been studied extensively .…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] Anthracene crystal doped with metal ions which become potential DOI: 10.1002/crat.201700217 candidate material for optical applications. [11][12][13][14] The pronounced anisotropy of molecular orbital energy results in the addition or removal of electrons onto the anthracene molecule has been studied extensively. [15] But some properties were lacking on doping with metal ions, which influence on thermal, mechanical and nonlinear nature.…”
