Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) is a well known nonlinear optical (NLO) material for various optoelectronics applications. Since amino acids exhibits NLO property, it is of interest to dope them in KDP. In present study single crystal of pure and amino acid, Glycine doped Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) has been grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The SHG efficiency of pure and Glycine doped KDP crystal was confirmed by Nd:YAG pulsed Laser employing the Kurtz powder technique. The SHG efficiency of Glycine doped KDP crystal was found to be 1.36 times more than pure KDP. The crystallinity and cell parameters were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, the shifting in frequency assignment of different functional groups of KDP due to addition of Glycine were analyzed by FTIR analysis. The enhancement in transmittance of grown KDP crystal with addition of Glycine was determined by UV-Visible spectral analysis. The presence of dopant in the sample of grown crystal was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX). The grown crystal was subjected to thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis to observe the thermal decomposition and weight loss.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
