Growth of high-quality naphthalene single crystals using selective self-seeding vertical Bridgman technique (SSVBT) and its characterization

High-quality single crystals of naphthalene have been grown using selective self-seeding vertical Bridgman technique (SSVBT). The grown crystals were subjected to proton NMR, FT-IR, FT-Raman and X-ray rocking studies. Fluorescence emission and fluorescence lifetime measurement have been carried out to estimate the quality of the grown crystals. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
