Chapter VIII Micro-hardness studies…<br />

Figure: 8.6 Plots of log P Vs log d for pure (a) and 0.3,0.4 & 0.5 wt % L-histide (b-d), L-<br />

threonine (e-g) and DL-methionine (h-J) doped KDP crystals,respectively.<br />

It can be seen that the plots exhibit a straight line nature and the value of n<br />

calculated and listed in table (8.2).<br />

The values of n being less than 2 indicate that the Vickers micro-hardness<br />

values are increasing with decreasing the appiled load in low load region.<br />

The values of standard hardness are slightly less in amino acid doped<br />

KDP crystals than pure KDP crystals. Also, marginal changes in the work<br />

hardening coefficient and the standard hardness are found for different amino<br />

acid doped KDP crystals.<br />
