Growth, linear- nonlinear optical studies and quantum chemistry formalism on an organic NLO crystal for opto-electronic applications: experimental and theoretical approach (original) (raw)
An organic non-linear optical material of 4-methylanilinium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate (MADNBA) was synthesized and crystals of MADNBA were grown by employing slow evaporation solution growth technique. The crystal structure was confirmed from Single crystal XRD. Grown crystals were characterized by Powder XRD, UV-Vis-NIR, Photoluminescence and Laser damage threshold measurement studies. Infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis and microhardness measurement were performed to study the molecular vibration, thermal behaviour and mechanical stability of the grown crystal. Dielectric studies have been performed to evaluate various solid state parameters. From the Kurtz Perry powder technique, it was found that Second harmonic generation efficiency of the obtained compound is 10 times that of the standard potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Z-Scan technique was also carried out to investigate the non-linear activity and optical limiting behaviour of MADNBA crystal. Computational analysis performed upon the optimized geometry of MADNBA molecule using Density Functional Theory confirmed the experimentally determined quantities under a strong theoretical background. Frontier molecular orbital analysis and molecular electrostatic potential analysis were carried out. The non-linear character of the compound was also determined by computing various non-linear optical parameters like dipole moment, polarizability and hyperpolarizability. The first order hyperpolarizability (β) value of the MADNBA molecule was evaluated to be 8 times that of the standard urea molecule. Based on these results, it could be proposed that MADNBA material serves as a potential candidate for frequency doubling, optical limiting and photonic applications in optoelectronics domain.

Single crystals of guanidinium 4-nitrobenzoate (GuNB) were grown using solvent evaporation technique by mixing aqueous solutions of guanidine carbonate and 4-nitrobenzoic acid at ambient temperature. X-ray diffraction analysis characterized the unit cell parameters of the grown crystal and the crystal belongs to monoclinic system. The optical properties of the grown crystal have been studied by means of transmission measurements in the wavelength region between 200 and 1200 nm. The optical constants such as refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k) have been determined from the transmittance data. The optical band gap (E g), the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of the grown crystal was determined. Second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the grown crystal has been studied using Nd:YAG laser and was measured as 3.2 times that of KDP. The low dielectric constant suggests the suitability of this compound material for NLO applications.

Nonlinear optical organic materials of N,N-diphenylbenzamide (NNDPB) and 4-fluoro-N,N-diphenylbenzamide (FNNDPB) are synthesized from benzoylation of N,N-diphenylamine using the substituted benzoyl chlorides. The single crystals of NNDPB and FNNDPB are grown by a slow evaporation technique. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that both the crystals belong to orthorhombic crystallographic system with space group Pbca. Fourier transform infrared spectrum shows the chemical bonding and various functional groups, the carbonyl peak appeared at 1647 and 1651 cm −1 in NNDPB and FNNDPB compounds, respectively. 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis examines the placement of aromatic protons and carbons are identified to the synthesized materials. UV-vis near IR spectra analysis showed 100% transmission in the visible region for both NNDPB and FNNDPB crystals.

The crystal is thermally stable up to 300°C and melts at 129°C. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data of DMLNH 2 MC confirms the monoclinic crystal structure with, P2 1 space group. The phase purity of the crystal was determined using powder X-ray diffraction method. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the molecule was performed to visualize the presence of CeH⋯O and CeH•••π interactions. UV Visible spectral studies show that the material is transparent in the entire visible region with a band gap energy of 3.32 eV. Z-scan technique is used to determine the third-order NLO parameters and optical limiting (OL) using a Diode-Pumped Solid StateLaser operating at 532 nm wavelength. The results of optical limiting studies show that the material exhibits two photo assisted excited state absorption, leading to reverse saturable absorption (RSA). High melting point, thermal stability, transparency in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum, negative value of nonlinear refractive index n 2 (−1.79 × 10 −9 cm 2 W −1) leading to self defocusing effect and optical limiting threshold of 4.32 kJ/cm 2 of the material makes it a potential NLO material.
