Abstract: Nonlinear optical materials are used in laser technology, such in new NLO materials is the fascinating research today. Several authors try to grow new inorganic, organic and semi organic NLO materials have many advantages over both inorganic and organic NLO materials. In this view, in the present investigation ZnSO4 doped Magnesium ThioUrea Sulphate(MTS) single crystals were grown by slow evaporation technique using rain water as solvent. The grown crystals were characterized by SXRD and PXRD measurements. The density of the crystals was determined by conventional floatation technique. The mechanical strength of the grown crystals was examined by Vicker’s Microhardness test. The SXRD and PXRD data show that the grown crystal belongs to tetragonal system. The Work hardening co-efficient determined by hardness number shows that, the crystal belongs to soft category materials.
