| Abstract: | Single crystals of
zinc manganese thiocyanate, ZnMn(SCN)4 (ZMTC) have been successfully
synthesized and purity of materials has been increased by repeated
recrystallization process. Single crystals have been grown by adopting the slow
evaporation solution growth method using water as solvent at room temperature.
The good quality single crystal has been harvested in a period of 2 months.
Different characterization studies have been carried out for finding its
suitability for device fabrications. From the single crystal X-ray diffraction,
the crystal system was identified as tetragonal. The Fourier transform infrared
spectrum of ZMTC has been recorded in the region 450-4000 cm−1 using
KBr pellet technique to identify the presence of functional groups. From the
thermal analysis, it was observed that the decomposing temperature of the grown
crystal is more significant than comparing with the studies performed in the
reported literature. The optical studies have been carried out and it is found
that the tendency of transmission observed from the specimen with respect to
the wavelength of light is practically more suitable for opto-electronic
applications. |
