Abstract

SDF Single crystal was grown water solution by natural slow evaporation method. The present crystal need been to single X-ray beam diffraction analysis to identified the lattice cell parameters. Fourier Transform Infrared [FTIR] analysis was carried out on the grown sample to convey the essential functional groups. Optical transmittance studies investigate UV-Vis spectrum of SDF, it is noted that there is better transmittance in the UV and visible region. The crystal was carried to TGA/DTA analysis to find its warm Dependability. The NLO property of the grown crystal has been confirmed by the Kurtz powder Second Harmonic Generation [SHG] test.
