Structural characterization of a novel spatially coherent crystalline nanocomposite obtained from a melt of KBr, RbCl, RbBr, KI and RbI salts

Multiphased (NaCl)x(KCl)y−x(KBr)1−y single crystals: ac conductivity activation energy versus bulk properties

“…Since it was realized [1] that alkali halide mixed crystals have the potential for important applications in optical, optoelectronic and electronic devices, the interest on understanding their properties has been largely intensified, thus a large body of experimental studies have recently appeared [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. This large amount of experimental data allowed the investigation of the correctness of early theoretical studies [16][17][18][19][20] the basic aim of which was to calculate the physical properties of a mixed system in terms of the corresponding properties of its end members.…”

Formation of multiphased mixed crystals from miscible NaBr, KBr and KCl

“…The mixed alkali halides find their applications in optical, opto-electronic, and electronic devices. In addition, mixed crystals (both single and poly crystals) with multiple phases have been found to be more interesting [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Further, it is interesting to prepare multiphased mixed crystals with new composition from miscible alkali halides.…”

Ion size effect dependence on the glow peak temperature in europium doped mixed crystals

“…1 Introduction Mixed europium doped alkali halide crystals grown with five alkali halide salts KBr, RbCl, RbBr, KI and RbI salts, as indicated by diffractometry and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), exhibited two phases with spatial coherence [1]. The interesting thing is that these phases are made up of two, KBr(x):RbCl(y):RbBr(1-x-y)) and RbBr(v):KI(w):RbI(1-v-w) ternary mixtures, where x, y, v and w are molar concentrations.…”
