Spectra of Pressed Disks of Alkali Halide Whisker Crystals Incorporating Foreign Ions.
Abstract
Alkali halide whisker crystals of KCl, KBr, KI, and NaCl were grown readily by allowing aqueous solutions of the salts to pass through porous glass. Whisker crystals of alkali halides doped with MnO4(-), ClO4(-) and ClO3(-) were also grown; not all dopants were used with all host lattices. The whisker crystals may be pressed into disks suitable for obtaining optical spectra. The absorption bands in the spectra of disks pressed from doped whisker crystals were sharper than the spectra of disks pressed from a mechanical mixture of the alkali halide and the dopant. The versatility of the porous glass technique for the growth of whisker crystals is clearly demonstrated. (Author)
