Growth, Characterization and Dielectric Property Studies of Zinc Succinate Crystals Grown in Silica Gel Medium

Abstract

Single crystals of zinc succinate (ZS) with monoclinic structure were grown in silica gel medium. The functional groups in the crystal were analyzed by FT-IR Spectroscopy. Thermal degradation studies have been carried out by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Dielectric constant and a c conductivity have been estimated as a function of frequency at different temperatures.
