The Investigation of dielectric properties of natural and cationic forms of clinoptilolite from Gördes region

ABSTRACT Doctorate of Science Thesis THE INVESTIGATION OF DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF NATURAL AND CATIONIC FORMS OF CLINOPTILOLITE FROM GÖRDES REGION ERTU?RUL İZCİ Anadolu University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences Physics Program Supervisor Prof. Dr. Önder ORHUN 2001 In this thesis, dielectric properties of natural and cationic forms of clinoptilolite obtained from Manisa - Gördes region were investigated at the temperature range from -40 °C to 80 °C and at the frequence range from 5 Hz to 13 MHz, by us. Natural and cationic forms of clinoptilolite powders passed through a 63 m sieve and pressed to tablets with a certain diameters and certain thicknesses. The surfaces of these tablets were coated by gold and were placed into measuring cell developed in this study and using impedance analyser HP4192A, at microwave region, the measurements were undertaken. Finally, e7 versus f, z/f versus f, tan8 versus f, e! versus T, e/; versus T, tanS versus T and Cole - Cole arcs were plotted. These graphs were explained.
