Impact of Pressure and Temperature on the Broadband Dielectric Response of the HKUST-1 Metal-Organic Framework
2019
Research on the broadband dielectric response of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an emergent field that could yield exciting device applications, such as smart optoelectronics, terahertz sensors, high-speed telecommunications and microelectronics. Hitherto, a detailed understanding of the physical mechanisms controlling the frequency-dependent dielectric and optical behavior of MOFs is lacking because a large number of studies have focused only on static dielectric constants. Herein we employed high-resolution spectroscopic techniques in combination with periodic ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations to establish the different polarization processes for a porous copper-based MOF, termed HKUST-1. We used alternating current measurements to determine its dielectric response between 4 Hz and 1.5 MHz where orientational polarization is predominant, while synchrotron infrared (IR) reflectance was used to probe the far-IR, mid-IR, and near-IR dielectric response across the 1.2 THz to 150 THz...
