Dielectric response of α-LiIO3 acid type crystals
1998
Abstract α-LiIO 3 is often used as non-linear optical material. In view of its preparation, low pH aqueous solutions are used as mother solutions, which give crystals with some hydrogen incorporated to the lattice. Thus, dielectric characterization appears as a very important tool. In this work, the dielectric properties of acid type α-LiIO 3 crystals (conductivity, permittivity, loss-angle tangent) are investigated as functions of temperature and frequency, through an original method allowing seemingly continuous measurements and avoiding space charge contributions to the measurements. The results show the dipolar and low frequency conductivity contributions to the dielectric response. The…
Electrical conductivity and micro-Raman scattering studies of ionic conduction in Li1−xHxIO3 solid solutions
2002
Abstract Li 1− x H x IO 3 solid solutions have been investigated by ac electrical conductivity and micro-Raman techniques, for x ≤0.32. The presence of protons leads to a continuous reduction of the anisotropic intrinsic conduction of the system. The in-plane conduction mechanism would be by Li + vacancy hopping, while a mixed process by interstitial Li + and H + would account for the conduction along the c -axis. The solid solutions undergo the same phase transition sequence as the pure crystal, but the presence of the protons shifts the transition temperatures to lower values. Micro-Raman spectroscopy has been successfully introduced to demonstrate that proton mobility occurs preferential…
