We report an easy and versatile route for the synthesis of the parent phaseof newest superconducting wonder material i.e. p-Terphenyl. Doped p-terphenylhas recently shown superconductivity with transition temperature as high as120K. For crystal growth, the commercially available p-Terphenyl powder ispelletized, encapsulated in evacuated (10-4 Torr) quartz tube and subjected tohigh temperature (260C) melt followed by slow cooling at 5C/hour. Simpletemperature controlled heating furnace is used during the process. The obtainedcrystal is one piece, shiny and plate like. Single crystal surface XRD (X-rayDiffraction) showed unidirectional (00l) lines, indicating that the crystal isgrown along c-direction. Powder XRD of the specimen showed that as grownp-Terphenyl is crystallized in monoclinic structure with space group P21/aspace group, having lattice parameters a = 8.08(2) A, b = 5.62(5) A and c=13.58(3) A. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures of the crystal showedclear layered slab like growth without any visible contamination from oxygen.Characteristic reported Raman active modes related to C-C-C bending, C-Hbending, C-C stretching and C-H stretching vibrations are seen clearly for thestudied p-Terphenyl crystal. The physical properties of crystal are yetunderway. The short letter reports an easy and versatile crystal growth methodfor obtaining quality p-terphenyl. The same growth method may probably beapplied to doped p-terphenyl and to subsequently achieve superconductivity tothe tune of as high 120K for the newest superconductivity wonder i.e., High TcOraganic Superconductor (HTOS).
