Single crystals of pure and succinic acid doped zinc sulphate crystals were grown from aqueous solution using low temperature solution growth technique at room temperature. The grown crystals have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction to confirm the crystalline nature of the crystals, UV-Vis-NIR spectra have been recorded in the wavelength range of 190-1100 nm. The Vicker’s micro hardness measurements were carried out.
