Abstract
An interest in organic molecular ferroelectrics is increasing due to their numerous advantages such as eco-friendly, lightweight, cost-effective, scalable and low processing temperatures. In the present work, the organic molecular ferroelectric diisopropylammonium bromide (DIPAB) and 50% fluorine-doped diisopropylammonium bromide (DIPABF) are synthesized in the form of polycrystalline powder using solution growth technique. The X-ray diffraction measurements done on as prepared DIPAB and DIPABF samples confirmed the room temperature orthorhombic phase (P212121). The temperature-dependent dielectric studies are carried out on DIPAB confirmed its phase transitions nearly at 416 K and 429 K. But, DIPABF has shown a frequency-dependent transition near 429 K and the transition at 416 K is suppressed. It is also observed from the temperature-dependent dielectric constant and dielectric loss curves that the ferroelectric to paraelectric transition at 429 K is broad in DIPABF and it is frequency dependent. This confirms the presence of dielectric relaxation in DIPABF. The origin of such dielectric relaxation is explained with respect to temperature-dependent dipole rotation and electronegativity. Overall, DIPAB and DIPABF organic polycrystalline ferroelectric materials have been successfully synthesized and demonstrated its temperature-dependent dielectric relaxation in DIPABF.
