Abstract
Single crystals of Triglycine Sulfate (TGS) were grown in water and also were grown in water-soluble CdS nanoparticles dispersed in water by solution method with slow evaporation technique at room temperature. Watersoluble CdS nanoparticles were synthesized by microwave-assisted solution method using the precursors such as cadmium sulfate, thioglycolic acid and ethylene diamine and they were used for the growth of CdS-added TGS crystals. The grown crystals were characterized by XRD technique, UV-visible spectral studies, measurement of density, microhardness studies, atomic absorptions studies. The effect of Cd 2+ ions on various properties of TGS crystals have been analyszed and reported.

Indian Journal of Science and TechnologyCharacterization of triglycine sulfate (TGS) crystals grown in water-soluble cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanoparticles dispersed in water
Triglycine sulfate (TGS) crystal is one of the interesting ferroelectric materials which finds applications in the fabrication of infrared detectors, pyroelectric vidicon tubes operating at room temperature, in the fabrication of capacitors, transducers and sensors (Ashok K Batra et al, 2003; Berbacaru et al, 2005)
We report the results of growth by solution method and others such as single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies, UV-visible transmittance studies, microhardness studies, atomic absorption studies, measurement of density of the grown crystals
