Nucleation parameters such as solubility, induction period, interfacial energy and metastable zone width have been investigated for the aqueous solution growth of a semi-organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material of L-Proline cadmium chloride monohydrate (L-PCCM) single crystal. Metastable zone width and induction period values were determined experimentally in order to optimize the growth parameters. The grown crystals are transparent (dimensions: 16 x 8 x 5 mm³) and characterized by powder X-Ray Diffraction and dielectric studies.
