Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) and ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate (ADP) single crystals added with L-arginine have been grown by the solution methods. DC and AC electrical measurements were carried out at various temperatures along both a- and c- directions. Results indicate an increase of the electrical parameters with the increase of temperature which can be attributed mainly to the increase of thermally generated hydrogen bond vacancies (L. defects). Also, the present study indicates that L-arginine addition leads to reduction of electrical parameters of KDP and ADP single crystals which can be attributed mainly to the decrease of L-defects due to creation of additional hydrogen bonds by the impurity in random directions.
