Synthesis, Crystallization, Non Linear Optical and Anti-bacterial Activity of L-Alanine Sodium Nitrate Single Crystals

In this present work, L-Alanine Sodium Nitrate (LASN) single crystals were grown by spontaneous nucleation solution growth method. The cell parameters and crystalline structure of the LASN crystals were analysed using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. The numerous functional groups in the LASN crystals were confirmed by FTIR analysis. SHG efficiency of the grown LASN crystal is 1.06 times superior to the reference crystalline material KDP. The antibacterial property of LASN crystals were assessed using by agar diffusion method.
