title: Structural and thermal characterization of a semiorganic NLO material: L-alanine cadmium chloride.
abstract: L-Alaninium cadmium chloride (LACC), a semiorganic nonlinear optical material has been synthesized and its single crystal grown and characterized for its thermal, structural, linear and second order nonlinear optical properties. Powder SHG study shows that LACC is 1.5 times efficient as KDP. Its optical transparency goes down to 200 nm comparable to the typical borate crystals like potassium pentaborate.
