KNb3O8—A MICA-LIKE CRYSTAL

Large single crystals of KNb3O8 were pulled from the slightly off-stoichiometric melt. Both the unusually developed cleavability and the electrical properties such as dielectric constant, loss tangent, and dielectric breakdown strength are similar to those of mica. This material shows promise both a...

Description
Summary:Large single crystals of KNb3O8 were pulled from the slightly off-stoichiometric melt. Both the unusually developed cleavability and the electrical properties such as dielectric constant, loss tangent, and dielectric breakdown strength are similar to those of mica. This material shows promise both as a substitute for mica and as an interesting new dielectric in its own right.
