Structural Studies of 𝑍𝑛𝑋𝑀𝑔(1−𝑋)𝑇𝑆 Mixed Crystals

Abstract – Search of New NLO material is a fascinating field of research today. In this view, in the present study mixed crystals of 𝒁𝒏_𝑿𝑴𝒈_{(𝟏−𝑿)}𝑻𝑺 for various values of x viz 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.9 and 1 were grown by slow evaporation techniques. The density of the grown crystals were determined by floatation technique and composition was estimated from the measured density. The grown crystals were characterized by SXRD and PXRD. The lattice constants also been determined. The grown crystals are single crystals and they crystallize in to different structures like orthorhombic, tetragonal and hexagonal.

Keywords - ZMTS, Crystal growth, Density, Lattice parameter.
