Abstract

4-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-1-methylpyridinium tosylate (DAST) is a very promising organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material for future optoelectronic and nonlinear optical applications, though it cannot be grown from molten state. Hence, a derivative of DAST was synthesized and mixed with DAST. The melting point of the mixed crystal decreased drastically, making it possible to grow a single crystal from molten state. In the present investigation, a mixed single crystal of DAST has been grown from molten state by vertical Bridgman-Stockbarger method.
