DIELECTRIC AND PHOTOCONDUCTIVITY PROPERTIES OF
L-ARGININE DIIODATE NONLINEAR OPTICAL SINGLE CRYSTAL

S. Suresh

Abstract

Single crystal of L-arginine diiodate was grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The crystalline nature of the material has been confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss measurements were carried out at different temperatures and frequencies. The photoconductivity studies reveal that the crystal exhibits negative photoconductivity.

Keywords: single crystal; slow evaporation technique; single crystal x-ray diffraction; dielectric studies; photoconductivity studies
