Undoped and the impact of amino acid dopants such as L-Glutamic acid (LGA), L-Asparagine (LAS) and L-Serine (LS) on the growth process and properties of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) single crystal by slow evaporation solution growth technique have been examined. The unit cell parameters of the grown crystals have been affirmed by means of single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystallinity of the title materials was examined by powder X-ray diffraction. The FT-IR spectral studies identify the presence of expected functional groups of the grown crystals. The optical transmission of the grown crystals has been recorded using UV-Vis spectral analysis. The thermal stability of the grown crystals has been analyzed by TG-DTA studies. Microhardness mechanical studies show that hardness number increases with the load for the grown crystals by Vickers microhardness method. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were analyzed utilizing Kurtz and Perry powder technique.
