Abstract

A theoretical model of microwave absorption in linear dielectric (non-ferroelectric) ionic crystals that takes into account the presence of point defects was synthesized and verified using NaCl single crystals. In the next stage of this research, we will introduce a controlled density of dislocations into the single crystal NaCl samples and study the effect on the microwave absorption mechanisms (ionic conduction, dielectric relaxation and multi-phonon processes) both theoretically and experimentally. Qualitative outlines of this modified theory are presented. The loss factor ε’ has been measured in the dislocation-free case by a cavity resonator insertion technique and the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical model. We describe the sample preparation technique that will be used to produce a controlled dislocation density in single crystal samples that will also be studied in our cavity resonator insertion system.
