- Abstract
In this study, we used the solution growth approach to successfully synthesis tricine potassium nitrate (TPN) single crystals. The phases of TPN crystals were determined by the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) method. The functional groups present in the crystals generated were examined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis. A UV-VIS-NIR examination was done between 200 and 800 nm to gauge optical transparency. The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of TPN crystal was captured. Investigating the mechanical properties of the crystal was done using a vickers hardness tester.The thermal behaviours of the crystals formed were examined using thermal gravimetric/differential thermal analysis. A field emission scanning electron microscope was used to determine the crystal's surface shape. The TPN crystal's properties were investigated using wet etching procedures. The Kurtz–Perry technique was used to investigate the effectiveness of the developed crystals' second harmonic generation (SHG). The antibacterial activity of TPN grown crystal against various standard bacterial strains. The results show that produced TPN single crystals can be used for nonlinear optical applications and that they can also be tested for antibacterial properties to determine the material's potential applications.
