Dielectric studies of BaxPb1−x(NO3)2 single crystals for optoelectronic applications

Abstract

The study described above involves growing a series of mixed crystals of BaxPb1−x(NO3)2 with different initial Ba+2/Pb+2 ratios (x = 0 to 1), and analyzing their behavior in an applied electric field by measuring the dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss (tan δ) at different frequencies and temperatures. The results of the study show that the behavior of the mixed crystals varies depending on their composition, with both positive and negative deviations from linearity observed in the dielectric constant and dielectric loss. This non-linear behavior may have implications for the use of these nitrate crystals in various applications, including Stimulated Raman Scattering, lasers, and medical, spectroscopy, defense, and research devices. Overall, this study provides important insights into the behavior of BaxPb1−x(NO3)2 mixed crystals under an applied electric field, and highlights their potential applications in various fields of science and technology.
