Investigations on the growth and characterization studies of cadmium thiourea acetate (CTA) single crystals

Single crystals of cadmium thiourea acetate (CTA) were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The spectral properties of the crystals were studied by FTIR, FT-Raman and factoral group analyses. The structural perfection and growth features of the grown crystals were analysed by high-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and wet chemical etching studies, respectively. The dielectric measurements were made both as function of frequency and temperature.
