Abstract

A new semi-organic crystal L-proline barium nitrate (LPBN) was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at room temperature. The crystal structure was confirmed by the single crystal XRD analysis. Powder XRD analysis confirms the crystalline nature of the compound. Various functional groups present in the compound were confirmed through the FTIR analysis. UV studies shows that the crystal is transparent in the entire visible region. Microhardness studies reveal the soft nature of the grown crystal. TG-DTA studies shows that LPBN is stable up to 270°C. A powder second harmonic generation study confirms the SHG conversion efficiency of L-proline barium nitrate is 1.77 times greater than that of standard KDP..
