Influence of succinic acid species on structural, spectroscopic,optical, Z-scan, frequency doubling, photoconductivity and antibacterial properties of glycine single crystals

Abstract

With succinic acid as an additive, glycine single crystals were grown by conventional solvent slow evaporation route. Effect of succinic acid on the growth, optical and dielectric properties of glycine polymorphs has been investigated. The occurrence of functional groups has been identified by vibrational FTIR spectrophotometer. The low value of dielectric constant and dielectric loss at higher frequency range attested the grown crystal for frequency doubling applications. The laser damage threshold energy of the grown crystal was calculated. Third order nonlinear susceptibilityχ (3) (esu) of succinic acid added glycine crystals were evaluated from Z-scan experiment.
