Abstract :

 Glycine doped with Potassium Iodide (GLPOI) in different ratio, a new amino acid organic single crystal  was synthesized. Single crystals of Glycine Potassium Iodide (GPI) with good degree of transparency were  grown from aqueous solution by slow evaporation solution technique (SEST). Good quality transparent crystal of various size was harvested over a period of 65 days. The grown crystals which were characterized by Single crystal X–ray  diffraction analysis reveals that the GPI crystal belongs to hexagonal system. The optical absorption studies show that  the crystal is transparent in the entire visible region and the optical band gap energy was found. In order to analyze  the mechanical properties of the grown GLPOI crystal was subjected to Vicker’s microhardness indentation analysis.  From the mechanical analysis, it was found that the GLPOI crystal belongs to soft material category and various mechanical parameters were also calculated.
