Transport Properties of (NH 4 ) 2 CuCl 4 .2H 2 O Low Dimensional Single Crystals
The X-ray diffraction and Infrared (IR) spectral studies of (NH 4 ) 2 CuCl 4 .2H 2 O single crystals reveals that these crystals contains tetragonal crystal structure with the unit cell dimensions of a = 7.58Γ , c = 7.95Γ , z= 2, Ξ² = 90 o and two water molecules in the unit cell. The temperature dependence of thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) and dc electrical conductivity (Ο) studies of this twodimensional (NH 4 ) 2 CuCl 4 .2H 2 O single crystal have been carried out in 77K-300K temperature region. The TSDC thermograph shows only one sharp peak at 248K with a peak current of 130nA, which is attributed to the Maxwell-Wagner peak. The activation energy (U), relaxation time (Ο) are calculated as 0.78eV and 3.44x10
-15 s respectively. Dc electrical conductivity studies of these crystals show a first order phase transition at about 248K.
