The microwave characterization of single crystal lithium and calcium fluoride at cryogenic temperatures

The whispering-gallery mode method is used for very accurate permittivity and dielectric loss measurements of single crystal lithium fluoride (LiF) and calcium fluoride (CaF2) over the temperature range of 4.5 K to 300 K. The absolute uncertainty in the real part of permittivity was estimated to be...

Zusammenfassung:The whispering-gallery mode method is used for very accurate permittivity and dielectric loss measurements of single crystal lithium fluoride (LiF) and calcium fluoride (CaF2) over the temperature range of 4.5 K to 300 K. The absolute uncertainty in the real part of permittivity was estimated to be less than 0.1%, and it was limited principally by uncertainty in dimensions of the samples. Dielectric losses were measured with uncertainties of about 10% limited by the accuracy of Q-factor measurements. The measured materials exhibited dielectric losses between 2-4 x 10(-7) near 5 K. The relative permittivity was evaluated as 6.502 (4.9 K) to 6.844 (296 K) at 17.5 GHz for CaF2 and 8.534 (4.6 K) to 9.063 (300 K) at 13.5 GHz for LiF
