Low Frequency Dispersion in Ionic Crystals

Abstract: A new region of anomalous electrical response has been observed at low frequencies in ionic crystals that have been treated to introduce relatively large number of lattice defects. The crystals thus far studied include various alkali halides and silver chloride. The effect is attributed to a jumping of the positive ions to vacant lattice sites under the influence of the applied field. This jumping is observed as a relaxation process, producing a change in the dielectric constant which is small and frequently w… Show more

“…Considering that the cell parameter of the lithium iodate crystal is а 0 = 5.48 Å [5], we obtain the dipole moment μ = е·а 0 = 8.77·10 -29 C·m, which is in agreement with [12]. Then according to Breckenridge [13], we can write …”

“…The present value for enthalpy obtains1 from the conductivity plot is close to that reported by Varotsos et al [9] for cation vacancy migration in NaF doped with Ca2+. Breckenridge [6] cited the value of the activation energy for vacancy pair diffusion to be 0.74 eV for quenched NaF crystals. This value is quite high for vacancy pair relaxation, and might be rather due to the cation vacancy migration.…”

“…The NaF thin film is a promising candidate for optical computing elements [l to 31 or CW laser generation devices [4, 51. The electrical conduction in a NaF crystal has been reported to be due to the presence of vacancy pairs [6], impurity complexes, and cation vacancy migration [7 to 91. However, the experimentally obtained enthalpy for the cation vacancy migration has been very much different, viz.…”

“…Because of the simple ionic structure of the NaCl crystal, there are no first-order ionic or vibrational modes that can absorb energy in this frequency range, and any absorption or scattering that does occur is due primarily to activation of lattice defects [20]. Radio-frequency (RF) absorption in dielectrics is usually described in terms of the loss tangent.…”
