Abstract :
Single crystals of strontium chloride added with Nicotinic acid were grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation technique. The grown crystals are characterized by using single crystal XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, optical transmission, mechanical and photoluminescence spectral studies. As a result Single crystal XRD studies exposed that the crystal belongs to tetragonal system. The FTIR studies help to identify the functional groups which are present in the crystals. The optical transmission analysis shows that the crystal is transparent in the entire visible region. The cut off wavelength is 275nm. The sample is also subjected to photoluminescence analysis. Hardness was measured by the Vickers’s hardness tester. The diamagnetic behavior of the grown crystal is confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometer.
