Abstract

Abstract The dielectric properties of single crystals of the natural zeolite stilbite were studied employing two complementary methods; the Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Currents (TSDC) technique applied over the temperature range 77-300 K and the Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy (DRS) method with frequency measurements over the range 5 mHz-1 GHz. A distinct contribution to the dielectric relaxation response of the mineral arises from the activated hopping of Na+ counterions between vacant interstitial sites, and is described by both TSDC and dielectric measurements.
