Abstract

A relative study on pure L-alanine alaninium nitrate (LAAN) single crystals and doped with lanthanum oxide, urea and glycine were developed from fluid solution by slow evaporation strategy at room temperature. X-ray diffraction result reveals that LAAN crystallites with system with space bunch P21 and cell parameters a = 7.836 Å, b = 5.428 Å, c = 12.809 Å and β = 94.25°. These parameters were marginally changes for doped crystals compared to pure LAAN crystal. The UV results recommend that the great transmission property of the doped LAAN crystal within the whole visible region guarantees its reasonableness for second harmonic generation applications. The presence of dopants within the LAAN crystal was further affirmed through ICP studies. The functional groups were analyzed through Fourier change infrared spectra investigation. The microhardness and dielectric study at 100 Hz was found to be broadly higher than that of pristine LAAN. The AC conductivity was found to extend after doping due to the induced defects in crystal lattice. The grown crystals were also subjected to second harmonic generation efficiency tests and it was found to be La2O3 doped LAAN crystal is 2.8 times greater than that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).
