title: Growth, characterization, vibrational spectroscopic and thermal studies of a new metallorganic non-linear optical crystal-Bisthiourea cadmium bromide.
abstract: Single crystals of bisthiourea cadmium bromide (BTCB), a new metallorganic material crystallizing in orthorhombic system were grown from slow evaporation solution growth. The grown crystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FTIR and FT-Raman spectral studies. The crystals were also subjected to TGA/DTA analysis and second harmonic generation test. The transmission characteristics of the crystal was also studied.
