Nucleation studies and characterization of potassium dihydrogen phosphate single crystals with l-arginine monohydrochloride as additive

Effect of l-lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate on the growth and properties of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate single crystals

“…This again confirms that L-LMHCl has not entered into the crystal lattice. Similar results were reported in the L-arginine monohydrochloride-added KDP crystals [18].…”

“…It is noted that, L-LMHCl dihydrate has not entered into the lattice of pure ADP and the hardness value is increased. Similar behaviour was already reported in the L-arginine monohydrochloride-added KDP crystals [18].…”

“…Several semiorganic crystals like L-histidine tetrafluoroborate, L-arginine phosphate, L-arginine tetrafluoroborate and L-histidine nitrate were grown and reported for their enhanced NLO efficiency [15][16][17]. L-Arginine monohydrochloride-added KDP crystals were grown, in which, increased growth rate, enhancement in metastable zone width and induction period and higher hardness have been achieved [18]. L-Lysine monohydrochloride dihydrate is a potential material to produce semiorganic crystals for nonlinear optical applications [19].…”

Studies on Nucleation, Growth and Characterization of L-Leucine Doped ZTS Crystals

“…Since the solubility increases with temperature, the samples have positive temperature coefficient of solubility. The increase in solubility by addition of dopants may lead to change of thermodynamic parameters such as surface concentration of growth species and the surface energy and hence it may be responsible for the change in the morphology of crystals [16]. …”

“…The appearance of first speck of the nucleus was seen at the bottom of the container. For the measurement of induction period, isothermal method [16,17] used at the selected supersaturation ratios or levels (S) such as 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35 and 1.4. The variations of induction period with supersaturation ratio for the samples are presented in the figure 2.…”
