Thermal and optical studies of gel grown cobalt iodate crystal

摘要

Cobalt iodate crystals were grown in silica gel at ambient temperature. The effect of various parameters like gel concentration pH of gel, gel setting time, concentration of the reactants on the growth of these crystals were studied prismatic, platy shaped and dendrites were obtained. The grown crystals were characterized by FT IR. Thermogravimeteric and differential thermal analysis and UV
