STRUCTURAL, OPTICAL AND ELEMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PURE AND TARTARIC ACID DOPED UREA SINGLE CRYSTALS

Abstract

The growth of single crystals of pure and Tartaric Acid (TA)-doped urea was accomplished by solvent evaporation. The grown crystals were characterised by Single crystal X-ray and X-ray powder diffraction. The crystallographic data shows a slight variation from pure and TA doped urea in the lattice parameters and volume for the grown crystal. The powder XRD study shows that the unit cell volume of the TA doped crystal was slightly decreased and increased from the pure grown crystals. The FTIR spectrum shows the functional groups of the TA doped grown crystals. The EDXA analysis find elements of the formation of TA in urea.
