Optical, structural and microhardness properties of KDP crystals grown from urea-doped solutions

Effect of ammonium malate on growth rate, crystalline perfection, structural, optical, thermal, mechanical, dielectric and NLO behaviour of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystals

“…Such an effect seems to be caused by the adsorption of the organic molecules and the decrease of the surface energy of the growth steps resulting in the rise of the growth rate. Similar results are reported in urea-doped KDP, L-Arginine monohydrochloride (LAHCl) and L-analine-doped ADP single crystals [20,21].…”

Growth of dl-malic acid-doped ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystal and its characterization

“…1(b) and (c). Pritula et al [34] reported that in the presence of urea the growth rate of KDP is increased. The increase in the growth rate is obviously connected with the catalytic action of urea molecules on the surface of the growing face.…”

KH2PO4 crystallisation from potassium chloride and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate

“…The potassium dihydrophosphate is known as a crystal which shows the non linear optical properties in a laser fusion system 4 . Potassium dihydrophosphate is used in the aerobic composting process as a adsorbent of ammoniacal nitrogen 5 . KH 2 PO 4 (KDP) is an ideal model system because of its high crystalline quality (no mosaic spread) and because it is a very interesting crystal both from a technological and a fundamental point of view.…”
