| Abstract: | Relatively large
sized colourless transparent crystals of cadmium mercury tetrathiocyanate
(CMTC) are grown at near ambient temperature using silica gel in straight test
tubes in about one week time. Single crystal XRD studies have confirmed the
structure of the grown crystals as tetragonal. The grown crystals are characterized
by UV-Vis-NIR and FTIR studies. Kurtz powder technique is employed to confirm
their non-linear optic (NLO) behaviour. Thermal analysis proves that CMTC is
stable up to 200oC. Microhardness studies reveal that CMTC possesses
high Vicker’s hardness value. The dielectric measurement is carried out at room
temperature and the variation of ε΄ with frequency has been studied. |
