Characterization of Spectral, Dielectric, and Mechanical Studies of Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate Single Crystal

Abstract

ZincSulfateHeptahydrate, a novel inorganic optical material has been synthesized
and crystals were grown from aqueous solution employing the technique of controlled
evaporation. The various functional groups of the sample were identified by Fourier
transform infra–red spectroscopic analysis. UV visible studies reveal that
ZincSulfateHeptahydrate has UV cutoff wavelength at 200nm. Dielectric studies show that
dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreases with increasing frequency and finally it
becomes almost a constant at higher frequencies for all temperatures.Mechanical stability on
the title crystal was carried out to propose the material for useful applications
