Growth, Structural and Dielectric Behaviour of L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate Single Crystals

Abstract

In this present study, L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate single crystals have been grown by slow evaporation solution technique. The grown crystals have been subjected to various characterization studies such as single crystal XRD, CHNS and NMR. The microstructural imperfections of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate crystals have been studied by etching. The dielectric behaviour of L-cysteine hydrochloride monohydrate has been measured at various temperatures and the activation energy of electrical processes is also determined at various frequencies. P-E hysteresis loop has been investigated at 50 Hz.
