Abstract
Benzimidazolium perchlorate (BDP) a novel organic nonlinear optical material has been grown by slow evaporation technique. Growth parameters such as metastable zone width and induction period were determined. The relative second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the material was investigated for the first time in the literature and was found to be 1.2 times higher than that of KDP. The grown crystals were subjected to X-ray diffraction, absorption spectrum, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermal behavior, CHN analysis, and micro hardness studies.
