The design and fabrication of a vacuum-assisted Sankaranarayanan–Ramasamy (SR) method is reported by making modifications in the original SR setup for the growth of bulk single crystals with selective orientation at room temperature using volatile solvents. Utilizing this technique, the growth of bulk-sized and technologically important single crystals, such as KDP, TGS, ADP, and benzophenone, is demonstrated. The powder XRD patterns of the grown crystals are obtained so as to confirm the growth plane of each crystal. UV–visible spectra show good transparency in the entire visible region for the grown crystals. The crystalline perfection of the grown crystals is analyzed using HRXRD. This handy and cost-effective technique will pave the way for the growth of single crystals satisfying the requirements of the photonic industry.
