Abstract: A semi-organic single crystal of potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP, K(C6H4COOH.COO)) doped with Nickel Chloride (NiCl2) and Glycine (C₂H₅NO₂) was successfully harvested at room temperature to enhance the characteristics of KHP using a slow evaporation approach. The concentration of 1 mol % of Nickel Chloride and 6 mol % Glycine was used during the fabrication of the Nickel Chloride and Glycine doped KHP single crystal. Powder X-Ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis were used to analyze the grown single crystal. Powder XRD investigation verified an orthorhombic crystal structure and lattice parameter .To evaluate optical energy band gap and optical transparency using UV-Vis spectral. According to, FTIR analysis, and dielectric studies, it is evident that the crystal modification noticeably by adding dopant.
