Growth and Characterization of L-Histidine doped Ammonium Sulphate Crystals

摘要

Single Crystals of L-Histidine(LH) doped Ammonium Sulphate(AS) Crystals have been successfully grown from aqueous solution, by slow evaporation solution growth technique. Single crystals were grown in a period of 3 weeks. The lattice parameters were determined by PXRD analysis. The UV-Vis spectral study reveals that the material has a wide optical transparency in the entire region. The mechanical properties of the grown crystals have been studied using Vicker’s Microhardness tester.
