Refractive index dispersion and anisotropy in Ca0.28Ba0.72Nb2O6

Room‐temperature refractive indices dispersion and anisotropy were measured in single Ca_0.28Ba_0.72Nb₂O₆ (CBN‐28) crystal between 380 and 700 nm. The refractive index of Ca_0.28Ba_0.72Nb₂O₆ are measured by the spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dispersion curves were fitted to different Sellemeier functions. The normal dispersions were observed. Using the interference of polarized light, the birefringence in the long wavelength region is obtained. The results are in good agreement with the reference. A new technique was used to analysis the experiment data and this technique is proved to be more simple and efficient. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Refractive index,band gap and oscillator parameters of amorphous GaSe thin films

GaSe thin films are obtained by evaporating GaSe crystals onto ultrasonically cleaned glass substrates kept at room temperature under a pressure of ∼10^–5 Torr. The X‐ray analysis revealed that these films are of amorphous nature. The reflectance and transmittance of the films are measured in the incident photon energy range of 1.1–3.0 eV. The absorption coefficient spectral analysis revealed the existence of long and wide band tails of the localized states in the low absorption region. The band tails width is calculated to be 0.42 eV. The analysis of the absorption coefficient in the high absorption region revealed an indirect forbidden band gap of 1.93 eV. The transmittance analysis in the incidence photon wavelength range of 500–1100 nm allowed the determination of refractive index as function of wave length. The refractive index–wavelength variation leads to the determination of dispersion and oscillator energies as 31.23 and 3.90 eV, respectively. The static refractive index and static dielectric constant were also calculated as a result of the later data and found to be 9.0 and 3.0, respectively. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Refractive index and dispersion measurements in prismatic thin film of phasmidic columnar liquid crystals

In this work, we explore the refractive index of the phasmidic columnar liquid crystal for homeotropic oriented samples (column perpendicular to the plates). To measure the ordinary index n_o of the columnar liquid crystal C₁₀, a simple and accurate method is presented using the deflection by reflection of a laser beam (λ = 633nm) through a prismatic phasmidic thin film placed between two glass plates in the homeotropic orientation. For the C₁₀ samples, we found n_o = 1.5512 ± 0.0002 at T = 100°C. We used the same method to determine the isotropic index n_l of the isotropic phase and found n_l = 1.5301 ± 0.0002 at T = 120°C. Using the precision of the same method in polychromatic laser beam, we measured the variation of the ordinary index with the wavelength λ and characterize the dispersion by the known Cauchy's dispersion relationship n_o = A + B/λ². We deduce an estimation of the birefringence for several samples.

Growth and dielectric properties of Ta2O5 single crystal by the floating zone method

Large Ta₂O₅ single crystal with high‐dielectric permittivity was successfully grown by floating zone (FZ) method under air atmosphere. The grown crystal that has been obtained was typically about 8 mm in diameter and 90 mm in length. The crystal growth parameters were optimized. The crystal symmetry, characterized by means of X‐ray diffraction (XRD), was found to be tetragonal. The relative permittivity and loss tangent along growth and [001] direction were measured in the temperature range between ‐200 °C and 200 °C, which showed a strong dielectric anisotropy. At a frequency of 1 MHz and 20 °C, the dielectric permittivity along the growth direction and [001] direction are 81.17 and 25.04 respectively. The stabilization of high‐temperature phase can explain the dielectric enhancement.

Thermal conductivity and refractive indices of Nd:GdVO4 crystals

The thermal conductivities of Nd:YAG, M(Y,Gd)VO₄ crystals were measured at 298 K. The value of Nd:GdVO₄ crystal along <001> direction was 11.4 W/mK, which was higher than that of YAG crystal measured to be 10.7 W/mK. The principal refractive indices of Nd:GdVO₄ crystal in the temperature range from 20 °C to 170 °C were determined by auto‐collimation method. Based on the measured values of refractive indices, the Sellmeier equation and expression of temperature dependence of refractive indices have been obtained. The measured results show that the birefringence Δn is 0.22007 at 20 °C and temperature coefficient of birefringence is 4.33 × 10⁻⁶/°C for 1.064 μm. These results prove that the GdVO₄ crystal is a laser crystal with excellent thermal and birefringence properties. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Crystal structure,dielectric properties of (K0.5Na0.5)NbO3 single crystal grown by flux method using B2O3 flux

Lead free piezoelectric single crystals of sodium potassium niobate (K_0.5Na_0.5)NbO₃ (KNN) were grown by high‐temperature solution method using two different fluxes; one with a mixture of NaF and KF and other with addition of B₂O₃ along with the mixture. In the present study, the growth of KNN crystals without B₂O₃ flux and the same with B₂O₃ flux were compared. It was found that additions of small amounts of B₂O₃ lowered the melting temperature of the solid solution and enabled better dielectric properties. Phase analysis showed that all samples were crystallized in pure orthorhombic perovskite phase. AFM morphological studies showed that the addition of B₂O₃ flux increased the roughness of the grown crystal. Further, addition of B₂O₃ flux slightly decreased the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition temperature T_(O—T) and the Curie temperature T_C. The ferroelectric behaviour of KNN single crystal has been investigated at room temperature. The crystal grown using B₂O₃ flux exhibited a remanent polarization (P_r) ∼ 32 μC/cm² and coercive field (Ec) of ∼11.8 kV/cm whereas the crystal grown without the use of B₂O₃ flux had a remanent polarization (P_r) ∼ 36 μC/cm² and coercive field (Ec) of ∼14.6 kV/cm.

Temperature‐tuned band gap energy and oscillator parameters of Tl2InGaSe4 semiconducting layered single crystals

The optical properties of Tl₂InGaSe₄ layered single crystals have been studied through the transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 500‐1100 nm. The analysis of room temperature absorption data revealed the presence of both optical indirect and direct transitions with band gap energies of 1.86 and 2.05 eV, respectively. Transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10‐300 K revealed that the rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature is γ = – 4.4 × 10^‐4 eV/K. The absolute zero value of the band gap energy was obtained as E_gi(0) = 1.95 eV. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the single oscillator model. The refractive index dispersion parameters: oscillator wavelength and strength were found to be 2.53 × 10^–7 m and 9.64 × 10¹³ m^–2, respectively. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
