SEM, EDXRF and SHG efficiency of Co(II) Doped Lead Iodate Crystals Grown by Gel Technique
Abstract
Lead iodate crystals doped by cobalt were grown in silica gel method. Grown crystals were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF) and Non linear optical (NLO) property. SEM pictures shows that no morphological or structural changes take place due to doping. EDXRF and EDAX confirms that Co(II) is intercalated in lead iodate crystal. The emission of green radiation from the samples ascertains the NLO property of the crystals
