Abstract
The frequency response of the dielectric constant (ε r), the loss tangent (tanδ) and impedance Z of potassium acid phthalate (KAP) single crystals, monitored along the polar axis, exhibit strong resonances in the frequency range 50–200 kHz, depending on the dimensions of the sample. The observed resonance effect, which is strongly dependent on the geometric shape and size of the sample, is attributed to its piezoelectric nature. The resonance peak positions have been monitored as a function of both temperature and uniaxial pressure. The stiffness coefficient ( C), computed based on the resonance data, is found to decrease with increasing temperature and increase with increasing pressure. The electro-mechanical coupling coefficient ( k), obtained by resonance-anti-resonance method, has also been found to increase with rise in temperature. The (ε r behaviour along the polar axis, as a function of temperature is consistent with that of k. The preliminary results on the influence, of partial replacement of K + ions in the KAP crystal by Cs + and Li 1 ions, on the observed piezoelectric resonance effects are also included.
