The isomorphous ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) are technologically important crystals grown in large size for various applications. ADP crystal is of more appeal due to its piezo-electric property (Tukubo et al 1989). Studies on ADP crystals attract interest because of their unique nonlinear optical, dielectric and antiferroelectric properties (Gunning et al 2001). ADP crystals are widely used as the second, third and fourth harmonic generators for Nd: YAG, Nd: YLF lasers and for electro-optical applications such as Q-switches for Ti: Sapphire, Alexandrite lasers, as well as for acousto-optical applications. ADP crystal has found applications in NLO, electro-optics, transducer devices and as monochromators for X-ray fluorescence analysis.
