Abstract

A thorough understanding of fundamental microwave absorption mechanisms in ionic crystalline solids is important for microwave sintering of ceramics, as well as the design of high speed electronic packaging, advanced radomes, etc. Of particular importance to these applications are how the density and type of crystalline defects affect the dominant microwave absorption mechanisms. We have designed experiments to measure microwave absorption in NaCl samples with controlled variations in defect conditions(pure, point defects, dislocations and grain boundaries) at different temperatures (20–400 °C) and frequencies (2–20 GHz). Initial results are reported and discussed.
