A powder X-ray diffraction analysis was performed to confirm crystalline nature. As one of the functioning groups of nitro-aniline revealed using the Fourier transform infrared spectrum and the prominent spectral band seen at 3404 cm^?1 is caused by stretching vibrations of the N–H group. The lower cut-off wavelength of the ultra violet-visible absorption and emission spectrum was found to be about 320 nm as the excitation of fluorescence and the emission of blue and red colors are expected at 459 nm and 688 nm. To determine the difference in energy between HOMO and LUMO by 9.6258, using the B3LYP/6-311G++ (d,p) method.

Bulk organic intramolecular charge transfer nonlinear optical single crystal of 2-(2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene) malononitrile (DMM) with the sizes of 24?×?18?×?13 mm³ have been successfully grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at 35 °C using acetone as the solvent. The lattice parameters of the grown DMM crystal was evaluated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The optical transmittance (T) data was taken from the well-polished crystal of DMM, and cut-off wavelength (λ?=?483 nm) was identified by UV–Vis spectral studies. Thermal stability and melting point (145.78 °C) were studied with TGA–DSC analysis. The low value of the dielectric constant (ε_r) of DMM suggests that the crystal can be used in the microelectronics industry. The laser-induced damage threshold experiment shows that the grown DMM bulk crystal possess an excellent resistance to laser radiation with a high threshold up to 1.75 GW/cm², much larger than those of several known organic and inorganic NLO materials. The DMM crystal exhibits positive optical non-linearity and reverse saturation absorption. It also exhibited a nonlinear refractive index (n₂) in the order of 10^?11 m²/W, a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) in the order of 10^?5 m/W, third order non-linear susceptibility (χ⁽³⁾) in the order of 10^?5 esu and a second-order molecular hyperpolarizability (γ) in the order of 10^?33 esu. All the above results indicate that DMM has a potential application as a useful NLO candidate.

The defects and etch pit density of 2APB crystal were examined using chemical etching studies. The 2APB crystal was thermally stable up to 140 °C, which was evident from the thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The photoconductivity analysis was carried out to calculate the photo and dark current values. The laser damage threshold (LDT) value was determined using a 532 nm Nd:YAG laser in single shot mode. The third-order non-linear optical (NLO) susceptibility (χ⁽³⁾) value was calculated from Z-scan technique, which involves open and closed aperture measurements.

Structural, dielectric and electrical conducting properties of CsB′B′′O6 (B′=Nb, Ta; B′′=W, Mo) ceramics

Effect of Ba(Ti<Subscript>(0.9)</Subscript>Sn<Subscript>0.1</Subscript>)O<Subscript>3</Subscript> ceramic doping on optical,thermal and dielectric properties of polycarbonate host

Ba(Ti_(0.9)Sn_0.1)O₃ (BTS) ceramic was prepared by a conventional ceramic processing. BTS-polycarbonate (PC) composites were prepared at different BTS concentrations by weight in order to study their optical and dielectric properties. The absorption coefficient (α) was determined in the wavelength range from 250–600 nm at room temperature for all BTS-PC composites. The optical gap (E _opt) was also determined for BTS-PC composites. The variation of the absorption coefficient (α) and optical gap (E _opt) with BTS content are reported. It was found that BTS ceramic highly enhances the UV absorption of PC host at 300 nm. The optical gap decreases up to the value of 3.93 eV as BTS content increases up to 35 wt% and this was attributed to the formation of localized states in the forbidden gap. The relative dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss and loss tangent were measured at temperature range from room temperature up to 150°C and at frequency values 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 50 kHz. Addition of BTS to PC host, however, will increase relative dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss and loss tangent. Besides, increasing of temperature will also increase relative dielectric permittivity, dielectric loss and loss tangent especially above the glass transition temperature of PC host and this behaviour was attributed to the segmental motion of polymer chains. On the other hand, this study shows that there is a good agreement between SEM, DSC and dielectric results and also between optical gap and a.c. conductivity results. Moreover, SEM and DSC results reveal that addition of BTS ceramic particles to PC host will reduce the physical bond between polymer chains or may be will increase the free volume in the polymer host and consequently will enhance the segmental motion of polymer chains and this behaviour is independent of ceramic phase.
