Abstract

Pure and o-nitroaniline (O-NA) doped benzil single crystals were grown by the slow cooling solution growth method. The doping of O-NA is associated with the strong interaction between the guest and host molecules by the hydrogen bonding. Incorporation of O-NA in the lattice enhances the crystallinity. The nonlinearity increases due to the inductive nitro group added to the benzil. The values of nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) and nonlinear refractive index (n₂) of benzil are -78 × 10^-3 cm/W and -22 × 10^-3 cm/W, while the corresponding values for O-NA doped benzil are -9.4 × 10^-9 and -6 × 10^-7 cm ²/W, respectively. The figure of merit values of benzil and O-NA doped benzil are 2265 and 4990, respectively. The increase in hardness on doping of O-NA to benzil is due to the strong hydrogen bond.
