Abstract
The influence of tartaric acid, an amino acid on NLO properties of DSHP crystal has been studied in the present
investigation. Single crystals of tartaric acid doped Di-sodium hydrogen phosphate (DSHP) and tartaric acid mixed DSHP
were grown by low temperature solution growth method. The enhancement in SHG efficiency after addition of 5mole%
doped tartaric acid and 50% doped (mixed) tartaric acid were observed by Kurtz Powder SHG test. It was found that the
SHG efficiencies of DSHP after addition of 5mole% tartaric acid is 2.87 and in tartaric acid mixed it is 10 times more than
pure DSHP. The solubility of the materials for different temperatures has been studied. The crystal structure and cell
parameters were determined by X- ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups were identified by FT-IR spectral analysis.
UV-visible spectral spectra show maximum transmission in the visible range of grown tartaric acid crystals. The grown
crystals were subjected to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to study thermal
decomposition and weight loss.
