Abstract:
Potassium hydrogen phthalate single crystals
were grown by slow evaporation technique with strontium
metal as dopant. The grown crystals were subjected to powder
XRD analysis, and the result shows that the Sr2? ions do not
alter the crystal structure, but it enters into the crystal lattice.
The optical transparency of the grown crystals was studied by
UV–visible spectroscopy. The FTIR analysis was performed
to confirm the group ligands in the sample. TG/DTA studies
reveal the purity and thermal stability of the sample. In
addition to this, the electrical parameters such as dielectric
constant, dielectric loss and activation energy are studied.
