Abstract

Thermal decomposition of manganese malonate dihydrate single crystals grown by gel method has been studied using the TG-DTA and DSC techniques. The presence of water molecules and the dehydration stages are discussed. Dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and AC conductivity have been estimated as a function of temperature in the range of 40–120 °C for four different frequencies. Thermal studies reveal that the material is thermally stable up to123 °C. The dielectric measurements indicate that the dielectric parameters increase with the increase in temperature. Also, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor values decrease whereas the electrical conductivities increase with the increase in frequency of the AC applied.
