Physicochemical Studies on Thienyl Chalcone Derivative for Nonlinear Optical Application

الملخص EN

Single crystals of 1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (CTTMP) having nonlinear optical property have been grown by slow evaporation technique.

The functional groups were identified by FT-IR and NMR techniques.

The mechanical property of the crystals was studied using Vicker's microhardness tester and the load dependence hardness was observed.

The material is dimensionally stable up to 112°C.

The dielectric properties of the crystals were determined using semiconductor characterization system.

The optical limiting behavior of the crystal was studied using Z-scan technique.
