| dc.description.abstract | In the present work, a synthesis and comparative study on the effect of Zinc (Zn) on thiourea barium chloride (TBC) single crystals has been reported. Crystals of thiourea barium chloride and Zn-doped thiourea barium chloride crystals are prepared using slow evaporation from the saturated solution. The samples were subjected to single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction to study the unitcell parameters and structural variations. The functional groups present in the crystals are derived using FTIR and Raman analysis. The enhancement of transmittance with the addition of Zn and the variations in the parameters such as bandgap, extinction coefficient, reflectance, refractive index, optical and electrical conductivity, real and imaginary part of dielectric constant are studied from UV vis spectrum analysis. Vickers hardness measurements are conducted for pure and Zinc-doped TBC single crystals. The emission spectrum of pure and Zn doped single crystals are studied using photoluminescence analysis. 2017 Elsevier Ltd | en_US |
