Synthesis and Characterization of Magnesium Tartarate Single Crystals

NLO organic crystals of magnesium tartarate single crystals were grown after 30 days by slow evaporation method with dimensions 28mm X 28mm X 2mm using water as a solvent. Powder X-ray diffraction predicts the lattice parameters with the use of a computer program. Fourier Transform Infra Red spectral analysis employment confirms the presence of various functional groups in magnesium tartarate. The optical transparency was determined by UV-Vis-NIR spectrum. The thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry analyses gave a fixation about the thermal stability of the grown crystals. Second harmonic generation studies were found to be noted that the grown crystals NLO efficiency is higher than that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate
