Studies On Linear Optical Properties Of Potassium Chloride Doped BIS Thiourea Cadmium Acetate Crystals

Single crystal of Potassium Chloride (KCL) doped Cadmium Thiourea Acetate (CTA) has been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The UV-visible study reveals that doped CTA crystal has high transmission with lower cut off wavelength of 250 nm. The optical band gap was found to be 4.2(eV). The linear optical properties such as refractive index reflectance, extension coefficient and optical conductivity was calculated which shows the applicability of grown crystal for various solar thermal devices and opto-electronic applications.
