    Growth and morphology of mixed K1-x(NH4)xH2PO4 crystals
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2010) Shenoy, P.; Bangera, K.V.; Shivakumar, G.K.
    Mixed crystals of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP), i.e., potassium ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, K1-x(NH4)xH2PO4 have been grown by slow evaporation from the supersaturated solution at an ambient temperature 26 ± 1 °C for ammonium concentration x in the range 0.0 ? x ? 1.0. The morphology changes from tetragonal prism to needles when the concentration of either of the components approaches that of the other. Induction periods were measured for various compositions of mixed crystals of ADP and KDP by the direct vision method. Crystal compositions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and also by chemical analysis. Results of the X-ray analysis of the grown crystals are also reported. Maximum size of the grown mixed crystal was around 16 × 10 × 4 mm3. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Growth and thermal studies on pure ADP, KDP and mixed K 1-x(NH4)xH2PO4 crystals
    (2010) Shenoy, P.; Bangera, K.V.; Shivakumar, G.K.
    The investigations on the formation of mixed crystals of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) and potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) i.e. potassium ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, K1-x(NH 4)xH2PO4 have been presented in this paper. Pure and mixed crystals of ADP and KDP have been grown by slow evaporation technique from the supersaturated solution at an ambient temperature 26±1 °C for ammonium concentration x in the range 0.0 ? × ? 1.0 in the case of mixed crystals. Crystal compositions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy and chemical analysis. The results of the X-ray analysis of the grown crystals are also reported. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) were used to study the kinetic process of dehydration and the high temperature phase behaviour. DTA showed the distinct thermal events attributed to dehydration of ADP, KDP and K1-x(NH4)xH2PO4. The results of thermal analysis and chemical analysis are consistent with each other. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
