Chapter V Dielectric Study of ……<br />

dispersion i.e. a property of poly-domain single crystals as well as powders.<br />

The weak field dispersion is due to the elementary movement of a jog on a<br />

lateral step displacement of a domain wall, consisting of a single H-bond<br />

reversal. This is anomalous effect results from the interaction between these<br />

point defects and the micro domain systems.<br />

Moreover, the high frequency dielectric measurements were carried on<br />

Lithium ion added KDP crystals in X-band region (8 to 12 GHz) of microwave<br />

frequencies at room temperature by Shirsat et al [51]. The authors selected<br />

three different lengths of crystals. Initially the standing wave pattern was<br />

obtained for with and without sample and the wavelength was determined and<br />

then the dielectric constant was calculated by using the suitable formula [52].<br />

Also, in another study the dielectric constant values were obtained<br />

comparatively low for Li + ion added KDP crystals than the pure KDP crystals<br />

within the frequency range 8 GHz to 12 GHz. This suggested that the Li + ion<br />

added KDP crystals were more suitable for high speed electro-optic<br />

modulation than pure KDP crystals [53]. Similarly high frequency dielectric<br />

study of thiourea doped KDP crystals was carried out in X-band region of<br />

micro-wave frequency by Hussain et al [54]. They also found that the<br />

dielectric constant of thiourea doped KDP was less than the pure KDP<br />

crystals.<br />

In the present chapter, the dielectric properties of different amount of<br />

(0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 weight percentage) L-histidine, L-threonine and DL-<br />

methionine doped KDP crystals are reported. The single crystals of pure and<br />

amino acid doped KDP crystals were grown by the slow aqueous solution<br />

evaporation technique, which is described in Chapter-II.<br />
