Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) single crystals doped with L-arginine amino acid were grown from aqueous solutions onto a point seed using the temperature reduction method. The incorporation of L-arg molecules into the crystal was verified by the methods of UV-vis-IR and FTIR spectroscopy. It w...
