ABSTRACT Nickel sulfate doped triglycine sulfate crystals have been grown by natural evaporation method. The chemical composi- tion of the pure triglycine sulfate crystals and the presence of nickel ion in doped triglycine sulfate crystal were con- firmed by Energy Dispersive X-ray analy sis. The functional groups of the grown crystals have been identified by the Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The structural studies on the grown crystals were carried out by X-ray Dif- fraction analysis. All the grown crystals are found in monoclinic structure and the lattice parameters of pure TGS crys- tal are a = 9.6010 Å , b = 12.5600 Å and c = 5.4500 Å. The lattice parameters are slightly distorted due to the incorpo- ration of nickel ion into the lattice sites of the TGS crystal.
