Abstract

Strontium succinate crystals are grown by gel growth technique and its structure is identified to be monoclinic. Presence of water molecules, different functional groups and metal–metal bonding in the crystal is confirmed by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. UV–vis absorption measurement of the sample is carried out and optical band gap of the material is calculated as 5.66 eV. Variation of dielectric constant and ac conductivity of the crystal with frequency of applied field and temperature is studied.
