Single crystals of potassium sulfamate are grown by the method of slow evaporation at constant temperature. AC electrical conductivity of potassium sulfamate is measured in the temperature range 300-430 K and in the frequency region between 100 Hz and 3 MHz along the a, b and c-axes. Complex impedance spectroscopy is used to investigate the frequency response of the electrical properties of the potassium sulfamate single crystal. Temperature variation of AC conductivity and dielectric measurements show a slope change around 345 K for both heating and cooling run and this anomaly is attributed as phase transition, which is well supported by the DSC measurements. Value of loss tangent in the temperature region 330-400 K is found to be very low. Activation energies for the conduction process are calculated along the a, b and c-axes.
DC electrical conductivity studies were carried out along the three crystallographic axes for Tripotassium sodium diselenate (K 3 Na(SeO 4 ) 2 or KNSe). Earlier studies of phase transition in this crystal show successive phase transitions at 334 K, 346 K, 730 K, and 758 K. In this paper we report the dc electrical conductivity measurements in the temperature region 303 K -430 K along a, b and c -axes. An anomaly in conductivity was obtained around 341 K and another one around 333 K. These can be attributed as due to phase transitions in this crystal. A strong anomaly also has been observed along the c-axis and comparatively week one along a and b axes around 395 K for the first time. This can be due to newly observed phase transition in the crystal. DSC taken for the sample also shows endothermic peak supporting the occurrence of newly observed phase transition.
Single crystals of sulfamic acid have been grown by the method of slow evaporation at constant temperature. DC electrical conductivity was measured in the temperature range 300 -440 K along a, b and c-axes. Conductivity measurements show slope change near 330 K and 410 K. The slope change observed around 330 K may be attributed as due to a phase transition which has been well supported by the DSC and DTA measurements. Slope change observed around 410 K is attributed as the onset of the thermal decomcoposition as evidenced by TGA curve. TGA studies show the crystal is very stable up to 440 K. Activation energies for the conduction process are calculated for all measured crystallographic directions.
