Abstract: Nowadays great attention has been devoted to the growth and characterization of pure and doped tartrate crystals with the aim to identify new materials for practical purposes. The effects of dopants on various properties of single crystals are of great interest for solid state science. Several applications of calcium tartrate crystals are reported in the literature. In the present work, calcium tartrate crystals are grown by single diffusion gel method in the presence and in the absence of the magnetic field. The cell parameters are obtained from single crystal XRD analysis. The crystals are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and UV spectroscopy. The influence of magnetic field on crystal stability is studied from Thermo gravimetry analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. This study reveals the locking of water molecules in the lattice with different strengths .The decomposition is observed from the endothermic peaks of DSC.
