Growth, optical and thermal studies on N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline
Abstract
In this work we present the growth, optical and thermal studies of the nonlinear organic molecular crystal, N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA). BNA is also a good THz electromagnetic waves emitter in 0.1 - 15 THz range. Nonlinear optical property of the crystal has been confirmed using the Kurtz powder technique and a study of its second harmonic generation efficiency in comparison with KDP has been made. Knoop hardness test was carried out and its Young's modulus was calculated. Thermal behaviour of the crystal was investigated by TG-DTG analyses.
