Abstract
Sodium potassium tartrate (SPT), commonly referred to as Rochelle salt (NaKC4H4O6·4H2O), is widely studied for its versatile properties. It exhibits ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and nonlinear optical characteristics, making it valuable in various fields. Additionally, it holds potential for applications in environmental and biomedical sectors. Research efforts focus on modifying and doping the crystal to enhance its functionality. Such modifications aim to broaden its use in areas like optoelectronics, sensing, and medical devices. This study specifically investigates the growth and properties of glycine-doped sodium potassium tartrate (GSPT) crystals. Introducing glycine as a dopant explores its effect on the crystal's physical and chemical attributes. The research employs techniques such as single-crystal XRD, LDT, hardness, cyclic voltammetry, antimicrobial activity, dielectric studies, and DFT analysis. The results from these methods are discussed in detail in this paper.
