Abstract

The single crystals were obtained using slow evaporation solution techniques with copper acetate-doped diglycine sulfate. A Vickers microhardness study was conducted on the grown crystals, applying loads of 10, 20, 30, and 40g with an indentation time of 15 seconds. It was observed that the grown single crystal displays a reverse indentation size effect (RISE) as the hardness number increases with an increase in load, indicating its potential suitability for device fabrication. Meyer’s index number ‘n’ was more significant than 1.6, indicating that the grown crystal falls into the category of soft materials.
