ABSTRACTAlkali ions, which compensate for substitional Al3+, play an important role in the frequency stability of α-quartz crystals. In this work, low temperature dielectricloss measurements (between 2.9 and 300 K) are carried out on crystals that have been “swept” so as to introduce either Li+ or Na+. High quality synthetic crystals as well as natural crystals are employed. The well known loss peaks due to Al-Na pairs are further explored and similar peaks due to Al-Li are sought after but not found. It is concluded that the Al-Li pair is oriented along the C2 -axis of the A104 distorted tetrahedron. After irradiation, large peaks are observed at very low temperatures both in Li+- and Na+-containing crystals. These peaks, which are distorted below ∼6 K due to the onset of quantum effects, may originate in alkali centers produced when alkali ions are liberated by the irradiation.

Piezoelectric materials have been prepared from (poly-methyl methacrylate-lead oxide) nanocomposites for electronic applications. The lead oxide nanoparticles were added to poly-methyl methacrylate by different concentrations are (4, 8, and 12) wt%. The structural and dielectric properties of nanocomposites were studied. The results showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of nanocomposites decrease with increase in frequency of applied electric field. The A.C electrical conductivity increases with increase in frequency. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and A.C electrical conductivity of poly-methyl methacrylate increase with increase in lead oxide nanoparticles concentrations. The results of pressure sensor showed that the electrical resistance of (PMMA-PbO2) nanocomposites decreases with increase in pressure.
