Abstract
The advancement of crystal growth and characterization methods allows us to investigate new substances with excellent nonlinear optical characteristics. To synthesize nonlinear optical material L-histidine hydrochloride hydrate (L-HHCLH), the gradual evaporation process was used. The produced samples were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, UV–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, second harmonic generation (SHG) test, dielectric, and mechanical investigations. The L-HHCLH sample was crystallized in an orthorhombic structure with the P212121 space group, as verified by the crystallographic data. FTIR and Raman spectroscopy were applied to examine the molecular vibrations and availability of the functional groups of the compound. The L-HHCLH is significantly transparent across the UV and visible ranges, as shown by the UV–Vis spectra measurements. The bandgap of L-HHCLH is 5.45 eV. The SHG test showed that the L-HHCLH crystals produced a significant amount of SHG output thrice that of the potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) sample. The frequency dependences of the dielectric parameters were investigated in the dielectric tests. With increasing frequency, both the dielectric constant and loss dropped exponentially. The crystal hardness was determined using a microhardness test.
