Overview on L-asparagine monohydrate single crystal: A non-essential amino acid.

This paper reviews the growth and properties of L-asparagine monohydrate (L-ASPM) single crystal. The growth technique by which a well-defined bulk-sized single crystal can be grown is also reported. The various reported studies done over titled crystal signify its suitability for various optoelectronic applications. This paper also includes few derivative compounds of L-asparagine (L-ASP), their structural review has also been incorporated to evaluate its structural bonding and atomic arrangement. Various advanced characterization and their outcomes were also discussed in detail from all the available reported literature which mainly emphasizes on the vast applicability of the crystal. The L-ASPM single crystal is a potential candidate to be used in various optical applications.
