Bulk growth, electrical, linear, third order nonlinear optical and optical limiting properties on bis(cyclohexylammonium) succinate succinic acid crystal

Organic material of bis(cyclohexylammonium) succinate succinic acid (BCSSA) single crystal was grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature and bulk of BCSSA was grown by slow cooling method. Single crystal XRD analysis reveals that the BCSSA crystal belongs to the triclinic crystal system with centro-symmetric space group (P1¯) The FT-IR spectrum confirm the functional groups of NH3+, succinate and succinic acid present in the BCSSA crystal, showing the evidence of compound formation and optical band gap was calculated using UV-Vis-NIR analysis. The third order nonlinear optical parameters were calculated by Z scan technique using 532 nm diode pumped CW Nd:YAG Laser and the optical limiting spectrum of BCSSA shows the suitability in optical limiting applications.
