Analyzing the Optical, Structural, Mechanical, Thermal, and Dielectric Properties of a ZTS Single Crystal Through Its Growth and Characterization

Abstract

This research examines the development of Zinc Thiourea Sulfate (ZTS) single crystals. A method known as slow evaporation was used to grow the crystals. The produced grown crystals validate the ZTS crystal structure, according to the X-Ray diffractions research. Single crystals measuring 12x5x7mm³ were developed in the good grade crystals. Fourier transform infrared research has pinpointed the existence of sulfur-to-zinc links in the complex. The generated crystal with ZTS crystal exhibits a low UV cutoff of 220 nm and high transparency in the visible range, according to the optical characterization. Zinc thiourea sulfate may be exfoliated at temperatures up to 240°C in ZTS single crystal, according to the thermal study. Investigating the mechanical stability of the produced crystal, ZTS crystal was discovered to have an increased Vicker's microhardness number. As a function of frequency (80 kHz) and room temperature, the dielectric constant of ZTS single crystal electro-optic modulators is studied.
