At room temperature, optically transparent single crystals of Glycine Zinc Acetate (GZnA) were grown in aqueous solution using the slow solvent evaporation approach. The grown GZA single crystals were subjected to various characterization analysis such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Vickers micro hardness, and antimicrobial studies. The powder XRD analysis revealed the structural parameters of the grown GZnA sample, confirming its monoclinic crystal structure. The elemental composition of the grown GZnA sample was confirmed using EDX analysis. Vickers micro hardness test was carried out at different loads varying in the range of 10–200 g which confirmed that the hardness value increases with increasing value of the applied load. Furthermore, in vitro antimicrobial activity extracts containing GZnA compound have been tested against five human pathogens (staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis (Gram positive), Pseudomonas aeruginosa Klebsiella pneumonia (Gram Negative) and Candida albicans (Fungi) by well diffusion process.

In this current work, optically transparent single crystals of Glycine Zinc acetate (GZnA) was grown in aqueous solution via slow solvent evaporation technique at room temperature. The synthesized samples were subjected to various characterization studies such as single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Thermogravimetry differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), Ultraviolet visible (UV-Visible) and Laser damage threshold (LDT) analysis. The monoclinic crystal structure of the grown GZnA sample was confirmed by single crystal XRD studies. The presence of functional groups in GZnA and their vibrational modes were confirmed from FTIR studies. The thermal stability of the GZnA compound was analyzed using TG-DTA analysis. Optical transparency and band gap energy of the grown GZnA compound was examined using UV-Visible analysis. The LDT results demonstrated that GZnA crystal damage withstands up to 14.8 mJ for pulse width 6 ns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Organic single crystal of pure adipic acid (P-AA) was successfully grown by slow evaporating method. Also, we attempted to grow it by inducing the supersaturation using laser, and successfully we have grown Adipic acid by laser-irradiated slow evaporation method (L-AA). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction investigation confirms that the P-AA and L-AA are crystallized into a monoclinic system. The linear optical properties have been calculated using the absorbance spectrum of grown single crystals. The various functional groups of the crystals were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. The TG–DTA exploration ensures that the crystals are thermally stable and Vickers microhardness analysis is utilized to measure the mechanical properties. The laser damage threshold on the surface of the grown P-AA single crystal was endowed to be 9.282 GW/cm2 and 24.84 GW/cm2 for L-AA single crystal. The dielectric properties of the grown P-AA and L-AA crystal were analysed. The second- and third-order nonlinear optical properties of grown single crystals were investigated using Kurtz-Perry and Z-Scan techniques. The aforementioned results confirm that the grown P-AA and L-AA organic single crystals are suitable for Nonlinear Optical applications and optoelectronic device fabrication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
