Abstract

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) crystals have been grown in the presence of various concentrations (1, 5 and 10 mol%) of cadmium(II) salt by slow evaporation of saturated solution method. The concentration of the incorporated Cd2+ ion has been determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The surface nature of the as-grown crystals has been analysed by scanning electron microscopic studies. Presence of Cd2+ in the crystal lattice of ADP has not altered the basic structure of ADP as evidenced by powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Thermogravimetry and differential thermal analyses of the samples reveal that there is no physically adsorbed water molecule in the pure and doped specimens. The grown crystals were also characterized by FT-IR, UV–Vis and diffuse reflectance spectra. It is interesting to observe the second harmonic generation efficiency, a nonlinear optical property estimated by Kurtz powder technique has been increased when compared to the pure ADP up to the moderate concentration of cadmium.
