Studies on multiphased mixed crystals grown from NaBr and KCl

We have grown multiphased binary and ternary mixed crystals by the melt method using the miscible alkali halides, viz. NaBr and KCl and physically characterized. Thermal parameters like Debye–Waller factor, Debye temperature, Debye frequency and mean square amplitude of vibration were determined using the X-ray powder diffraction intensity data. DC and AC electrical measurements were carried out by using the parallel plate capacitor method at various temperatures. Activation energies (DC and AC), mean jump frequency, compressibility and mean sound velocity were also determined. The results obtained are reported here.
