Analysis on Dielectric, Thermal, and Mechanical Characteristics of Nickel Boro Phthalate NLO Crystal for Optoelectronic Applications

Dielectric, thermal, and mechanical behavior of an efficient nonlinear crystal, nickel boro phthalate (NBP), grown by a slow evaporation solution growth technique, is characterized for optoelectronic applications. Ultraviolet absorption study identifies the lower cutoff wavelength as 281 nm. This low value along with transparency in the visible and infrared regions establishes that NBP is a probable nonlinear material. The frequency and the...
