“…A good number of reports are available on the growth and characterization of pure and impurity added (doped) KAP single crystals [3][4][5][6][7][8] . Significant tuning of optical, thermal and mechanical properties of KAP has been observed on doping with amino acids like glycine (C 2 H 5 NO 2 ), L-alanine (C 3 H 7 NO 2 ), L-tyrosine (C 9 H 11 NO 3 ), l-lysine (C 6 H 15 N 2 O 2 ), dL-alanine (C 3 H 7 NO 2 ) and L-methionine (C 5 H 11 NO 2 S).…”
