摘要

L-histidine hydrochloride (LHHCl) single crystals were successfully grown by a slow solvent evaporation technique under optimized conditions. The obtained crystals were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and thermal analysis methods (TGA/DTA). PXRD confirmed the orthorhombic crystal system and verified phase purity. The UV–Vis spectrum showed high transparency in the visible region with a sharp absorption edge near 260–280 nm, indicating good optical quality and suitability for photonic applications. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups associated with L-histidine and verified the formation of LHHCl crystals. Thermal studies revealed good stability up to 100 °C with major decomposition around 280 °C. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency, measured by the Kurtz–Perry powder method, showed that the grown LHHCl crystals exhibit a higher nonlinear optical response compared to the standard KDP sample. These results highlight that LHHCl is a promising semiorganic material for nonlinear optical and optoelectronic device applications.
