GROWTH AND CHRACTRAZATION OF L-ARGININE ACETATE CRYSTALS

Abstract

Single crystals of pure L- Arginine acetate been grown by slow evaporation technique at roomtemperature. The crystalline nature of grown crystal was long-established by powder X-raydiffraction analysis (XRD). The structure of the grown crystal determined by X-ray diffractionanalysis reveals that it belongs to the monoclinic system. The purposeful group of the growncrystals was established by FTIR analysis. The UV-Vis study was performed to know the opticalbehavior of the grown crystals. The optical transmittance of the spectrum of solid material wasmeasured in the range of 190 to 800 nm. The crystal shows a high-quality transmittance in thevisible region. The transmittance above 74% is observed from 354 to 800 nm, which clearlyshows the crystal possesses good optical transparency for the second harmonic generation.
