Abstract

L-Valine Picrate (LVP) single crystal was grown for the aqueous solution. The grown crystal was characterized by single crystal XRD studies to confirm the crystal structure. Functional groups present in the sample were analyzed using FT-IR spectrum. The UV- Visible spectrum of LVP was recorded in the wavelength region from 200 nm to 1100 nm and the evaluated band gap is 2.33 eV. The mechanical properties of the grown crystals have been studied using Vickers micro hardness tester. This crystal can be a suitable material for the optoelectronic devices like LED and Laser diodes.
