XRD, Electrical, Mechanical, Second and Third-Order NLO Studies of L-Leucinium Perchlorate Crystal
L-Leucine and Perchloric Acid were combined in a 1:1 molar ratio to synthesize L-Leucinium Perchlorate (LLPC) salt,which was subsequently grown into single crystals using a solution method and slow evaporation process. Characterization of the LLPC crystal involved techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), mechanical analysis, dielectric studies, Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) study, Z-scan study, and LDT study. SHG efficiency of the sample, was found to exceed that of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP). Mechanical properties such as hardness, yield strength, work hardening coefficient, and stiffness constant were determined for the crystal. XRD analysis confirmed monoclinic crystallization of the LLPC crystal. The findings from numerous investigations were examined and discussed in this paper.
