Abstract

Calcium mixed strontium tartrate crystals were grown by controlled diffusion in silica gel at ambient temperature. Structural characterization of the grown crystals was carried out by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The functional groups present in the crystals were identified using Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis. The chemical composition of the sample was verified using EDAX spectrum. The nonlinear optical property of the grown crystal was confirmed by Kurtz-Perry powder technique. The UV-VIS-NIR transmission spectrum was recorded to study the optical transparency of the grown crystal. Mechanical strength of the grown crystals was analyzed by Vicker's microhardness test.
