Debye-Waller factors and Debye temperatures of KClxBr1-x mixed crystals grown from aqueous solution

Author(s): A. Lesly Fathima and N. Neelakanda Pillai

Mixed crystals of alkali halides find their applications in optical, opto electronics and electronic devices. In the present study the pure and ZnO added mixed crystals KClx Br1-x were grown from the aqueous solution. The grown crystals were characterized by taking XRD, TG/DTA and Vickers microhardness measurement. The Debye temperature is an important parameter of a solid. Several methods of evaluating Debye temperature are available. In the present study Debye temperatures were calculated from the Debye-Waller factor, melting point and microhardness. The results were compared with the Kopp-Neumann relation.
