Preparation and properties of Rare Earth doped NLO single crystals

In the current era researchers have attracted much interest in Rare earth (RE) doped nonlinear optical single crystals over transition metals due to their promising applications and great importance in modern science and technology and had been extensively used in modern lighting. In this book, we emphasized the growth of rare earth metal (Tb, Ce and Eu) doped L-Histidine hydrochloride monohydrate single crystals were discussed in conventional and unidirectional methods at low temperature. In respective optimised direction the HRXRD of the above crystals are explained including other basic properties. The rare earth metal doped L-Histidine HCl.H2O crystals have shown excellent in optical transparency and thermal stability in unidirectional method with respect to conventional. The RE:L-Histidine HCl.H2O single crystals acts as a very good host material for doping lanthanides for efficient luminescent properties at low temperature growth methods, hence this material remarkably helpful in radiation detecting related applications.
