Chapter IX General Conclusion
case of amino acids doped KDP crystals, which indicated the
interaction of dopant through hydrogen bond of KDP.
8. The Thermo-gravimatric analysis suggested that amino acids doped
KDP crystals were slightly less stable than pure KDP crystals. The
higher values of activation energy and standard entropy of activation
suggested more stable condition for pure KDP crystals than amino
acids doped KDP crystals.
9. The dielectric constant was found to be lower in amino acids doped
KDP crystals than the pure KDP crystals, which might be due to
generation of L-defects upon addition of amino acids.
10.As the doping of amino acids increased, the dielectric loss of KDP
crystals decreased, which indicated that the doping of amino acids did
not bring major defects.
11.The significant lowering of the dielectric constant on doping of amino
acids can make KDP crystals good candidates for electro-optic
applications.
12.As the doping of amino acids increased, the SHG efficiency increased.
13.The UV cut off limit decreased slightly on doping amino acids in KDP
crystals, however, for L-threonine doping, it remained almost unaltered.
Looking at SHG efficiency data and UV cut off limit, it could be
concluded that the L-threonine doping in KDP crystals was a better
option.
14.In chemical etching studies by glacial acetic acid, the highest activation
energy for the lateral motion of ledges of etch-pits for pure KDP was
obtained compared to amino acids doped KDP crystals. This
