The semiorganic nonlinear optical crystal of amino-carboxyl acid family, L-cystine hydrochloride (LCHCl) was successfully grown from its aqueous solution by the slow evaporation solution growth method. The solubility, metastable zone width and induction period were determined for the first time experimentally and there by the possibility of growing bulk crystals of LCHCl using deionized water as solvent. The induction period was recorded for the different supersaturation ratios (S=1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5), which reveals that the induction period of LCHCl decreases with increase in supersaturation. The nucleation kinetic parameters such as critical free energy, change of volume free energy, critical radius, number of molecules in the critical nucleus and nucleation rate have been evaluated for LCHCl crystals. The interfacial energy values of LCHCl were determined for different supersaturation ratio by means of varying temperatures. The single crystal X-ray diffraction gives the lattice parameters value of the grown crystals. The second harmonic generation efficiency was confirmed by the Kurtz-Perry powder method. The laser damage threshold energy of the grown crystal indicates that grown crystal has excellent resistance to laser radiation also compared with known other nonlinear optical crystals.
