| Abstract: | Interest in fluoro
antimonate crystals have been increased for the last four decades due its super
ionic conduction and its unusual electro-optic properties. Optically clear
single crystals of KSb2F7 and KSb4F13
were grown by slow evaporation method. Powder X-ray diffraction method has been
used for structural identification. The microhardness study shows that hardness
steadily increases, then decreases for higher loads. Work hardening coefficient
indicates that the grown crystals are moderately softer. Variation of stiffness
constant with load for the given crystals has been studied. |
