Single Crystal Growth of N -Benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline by Seeded Czochralski Pulling Technique for NLO and THz Applications

Single crystal of N ‐benzyl‐2‐methyl‐4‐nitroaniline (BNA), a potential organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material for terahertz (THz) pulse generation, is grown successfully from diffusion controlled melt environment by Czochralski pulling (Cz) technique and is reported for the first time. A solution grown crystal having habitual morphology is used as a seed with pre‐determined crystal rotations at constant melt temperature of 102 °C. Unit cell...
