KCl alkali halide crystal with different nanodiamond impurity was grown by Czochralski method. X‐Ray diffraction of the outcome samples reveals that they are still single crystal. Also crystal hardness observation reveals that the hardness of KCl single crystal has been increased by adding different percentage of nanodiamond impurity. In addition, the study of FTIR spectrums of the pure and doped crystals represents that the KCl optical properties has not changed.
