Mechanical Properties of L-Lysine Doped Triglycine Sulfate (TGS) Single Crystals

Single Crystals of L-Lysine doped Triglycine Sulfate (TGS) were grown by conventional method. The grown crystals were characterized by single crystal XRD, Powder XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis Spectroscopy and Microhardness. The single crystal and powder XRD was to study the morphology and structure of the grown crystal. The presence of functional group of the materials was qualitatively estimated by FTIR. The optical nature of the crystal was studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Mechanical properties were determined by Microhardness studies. The results were discussed.
