Optical, Thermal, and Electrical Properties of Triglycine Sulfate Doped with P-Chlorophenzophenone Single Crystals

Triglycine sulfate crystals doped with P-Chlorophenzophenone (TGS P-CPP) were grown and characterized using various techniques. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the crystal structure and lattice parameters. Powder XRD confirmed the crystalline nature of the material. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) identified the functional groups present in the crystal. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed a wide transparency range, making it suitable for nonlinear optical applications. The crystal exhibited a second harmonic generation efficiency of 0.96 times that of KDP. Thermal analysis revealed a melting point of 236°C and a decomposition point of 347.6°C. Dielectric studies showed a high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, indicating potential applications in nonlinear optical devices. Impedance spectroscopy revealed a negative temperature coefficient of resistance behavior and a Debye-type relaxation process. The results of this comprehensive characterization study demonstrate the potential of TGS P-CPP single crystals for nonlinear optical applications.
