Abstract
AbstractA few defect characteristics which are typical of gel‐grown mixed single crystals of SrCa tartrates (Sr1−XCaxC4H4O6 · 4H2O) having different concentration, x, of the cations have been described. The temperature of decomposition has been found to be related, to some extent, to dislocation concentration. The magnitude of configurational entropy, which is a manifestation of lattice disorder, has been computed. The Vickers microhardness and dislocation density of crystals have been found to bear good correlation. An empirical formula has been suggested to explain the observed variation in microhardness with the concentration of ions in the mixed lattice.
