Abstract
Single crystals of pure and nitro doped 4-hydroxyacetophenone (NLO material) were grown by slow cooling technique. The single crystals were subjected to studies of Vicker's microhardness. The Vicker's hardness increases with the increase in applied load. The UV cut off wavelength of the grown crystals has been measured as about 280 nm from the optical transmission spectra of the samples. Chemical etching has also been carried out.
