Abstract

Single crystals of good optical quality, made of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) doped with urea were grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique at a constant temperature of 35 °C. Optical absorption and dielectric properties were studied for pure and urea doped KDP crystals. Using powder XRD studies, crystalline nature of pure and urea doped KDP crystals was confirmed. AC conductivity was measured for the grown crystals. DC electrical conductivity and photoconductivity studies were carried out for pure and urea doped KDP crystals and the differences caused by the dopant were also discussed.
