In the present study, a crystal of Ammonium Dihydrogen Orthophosphate doped with Acridine Orange, possessing excellent nonlinear optical properties were grown by the slow solvent evaporation technique at 25°C using a constant temperature bath. Ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate doped with Acridine Orange were synthesized in a large quantity via solution growth method using aqueous mixtures of Ammonium Dihydrogen Orthophosphate and Acridine Orange. The morphological characteristics were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy which revealed that the synthesized product possesses needle shaped microstructures. The mechanical properties are studied by Vicker’s micro hardness test.展开更多
