Modified low temperature Czochralski growth of xylenol orange doped benzopheone single crystal for fabricating dual band patch antenna

Organic non-linear optical pure and xylenol orange (XO) doped benzophenone (BP) single crystals have been grown by a modified Czochralski technique. A low cost CZ system was designed and fabricated that is suitable for the growth of single crystals of low melting point organic materials. Structural analysis was performed by powder and single crystal XRD. LC-HRMS spectra reveal that the dye molecules are present in the doped crystal. The linear optical characterization was carried out by UV-vis spectroscopy. In the case of the XO doped BP crystal, two absorption peaks were found at 504 nm and 620 nm. The enhancement of photoluminescence intensity of blue emission was observed in the dye doped crystal. Dielectric studies reveal that the XO doped BP has shown improved a dielectric constant with low dielectric loss. A dual band compact circular patch antenna was simulated and fabricated using the XO doped crystal. Resonant frequencies of the dual bands at 4.80 GHz and 9.22 GHz were achieved by introducing a defect ground state in the circular patch antenna. The piezoelectric coefficient (d33) value was increased from 1 to 4 pC/N by XO dye doping, which opens up the possibilities of simultaneous transducer applications.
