Abstract: | Large single crystals of an organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, benzil, have been grown by employing an indigenously
built Bridgman-Stockbarger crystal grwoth system. The dielectric constant (ε
r), dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) and impedance (Z) of these crystals, monitored along the crystallographica-axis, as a function of frequency in the 100kHz-10MHz range, exhibit sharp resonance effects in the 100–300kHz region. These
strong resonance effects are attributed to the piezoelectric nature of the crystal. The origin of the appearance of the sharp
peaks in the frequency variation ofε
r and tanδ is in response to the elastic resonances induced via the externally applied electric field. The resonance peak positions
shift towards lower frequencies with increase in temperature as a consequence of the decrease in the stiffness coefficient
(C
11) of the crystal. |
