High‐temperature phase transitions in pure and deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate: Conductivity and dielectric measurements
Studies on Development of MgB2 Superconducting Wires with Improved InField Critical Current Density and Electromechanical Properties
Effect of deuteration on the electrical conductivity, dielectric constant and phase transitions in LiNH4SO4
Measurements of dc conductivity and dielectric constant show that deuteration causes an upward shift of the high temperature phase transition point from 186.5 to 191°C and a downward shift of the low temperature transition point from 10 to -1.5°C in LiNH4SO4. Mechanisms of phase transitions and of electrical transport in the crystal are discussed.University of Cochi
Electrical conductivity and thermally stimulated current in the paraelectric phase of (NH4)2SO4
Anomalous variations of d.c. electrical conductivity with temperature are observed in ammonium sulphate single crystals, suggesting a possible phase transition at 150°C. Measurements of thermally stimulated current also support these results. The mechanism of electrical conduction is explained on the basis of studies made on doped and quenched crystals.Cochin Universit
DC electrical conductivity and phase transitions in (NH4)3H(SO4)2
Four distinct peaks are observed at 140, -26, -132 and -140°C in the sigma x* against T-1 plot between 200 and - 196°C for (NH4)3H(SO4)2, corresponding to four different phase
transitions of which the one at -26°C is reported here for the first time. Data on doped
samples reveal the charge transport mechanism in the crystal.Cochin Universit
High‐temperature phase transitions in pure and deuterated ammonium dihydrogen phosphate: Conductivity and dielectric measurements
Results of axiswise measurements of the electrical conductivity (dc and ac) and dielectric constant of NH4H2PO4 confirm the occurrence of the recently suggested high‐temperature phase transition in this crystal (at 133 °C). The corresponding transition in ND4D2PO4 observed here for the first time takes place at 141.5 °C. The mechanism involved in these transitions and those associated with the electrical conduction and dielectric anomalies are explained on the basis of the motional effects of the ammonium ions in these crystals. Conductivity values for deuterated crystals give direct evidence for the predominance of protonic conduction throughout the entire range of temperatures studied (30–260 °C).University of Cochi
