摘要
The 50 MeV Si7+ ion irradiation induced modifications on structural, dielectric, optical and mechanical properties of Vertical Bridgman grown benzimidazole (BMZ) crystals were studied. The high resolution Xray diffraction studies show the quality of as grown BMZ and irradiated BMZ crystals. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss as a function of frequency and temperature was studied in detail. The ion induced mechanical behaviour of both as grown BMZ and irradiated BMZ crystals has been explained with the indentation effects using Vickers microhardness tester. UV-VIS. studies reveal the decrease in bandgap values and defects on irradiation. The above results are discussed in detail. (C) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
