Effect of Iodic Acid Dopant on the Growth and Structural, Optical, and Electrical Properties of L-Arginine Phosphate Single Crystals

Abstract

Effect of iodic acid on the growth and properties of L-arginine phosphate (LAP) single crystals has been studied. The presence of iodic acid in the LAP crystals is confirmed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. The unit cell parameters for pure and iodic acid doped LAP crystals have been estimated using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. UV-Visible transmittance spectral studies revealed the transmittance percentage and cut-off wavelengths of pure and doped LAP crystals. Powder second harmonic generation measurement has been carried out for the grown LAP crystals. The dielectric behavior of the grown crystals was analyzed for different frequencies at room temperature.
