Abstract
Potassium thioureasulphate (PTS) crystals have been synthesized by slow evaporation method using water as a solvent. The spectral bands have been compared with similar thiourea complexes using FTIR spectrum in the range 400 – 4000 cm-1. Optical transmittance of the grown crystal has been studied by using UV-VIS spectrometer. The mechanical strength and work hardening coefficient of the grown crystal have been analyzed by Vicker’s microhardness method..
