The 3 at% Al doped ZnO thin films were deposited on p-Si substrate with a native SiO2 layer by spray pyrolysis method. Low temperature conduction behaviors were studied by analysis of impedance spectroscopy and low temperature ac conductivity. The results of impedance spectroscopy showed that the grain boundaries contributed to the resistivity of Al doped ZnO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction. The calculated activation energy was 0.073 eV for grain boundaries. The equivalent circuit to demonstrate the electrical properties of Al doped ZnO/SiO2/p-Si heterojunction was a series connection of two parallel combination circuits of a resistor and a universal capacitor. Low temperature ac conductivity measurements indicated that the conductivity increased with temperature. Low temperature conductivity mechanism was electron conductivity, and the activation energy was 0.086 eV.

The DC and AC conductivity of composites with epoxy resin and nickel particles was investigated for various content of nickel powder from ambient to 120 °C. AC conductivity was measured in the frequency range 10 Hz to 13 MHz. An enhancement of conductivity was evidenced increasing conductive filler content and temperature. AC conductivity was found to be frequency dependent beyond a critical frequency ω c. The activation energy of the temperature shift of ω c was compared to the activation energy of DC conductivity.

Dielectric constant and ac conductivity of Polyester doped with carbon black are investigated in the frequency range (0.5-103) KHz and within the temperature range (26-80) oC. Dielectric permittivity and loss tangent reduced with increasing frequency and increase with increasing temperature. The ac conductivity σac for all samples were found to be weak frequency dependent at low frequency, however vary with frequency as a power law ωs at higher frequency range. The variation of frequency exponential factor s between 0.63 and 0.77, indicates a dominant hopping process at low temperatures. From the temperature dependence of dc conductivity, the increase of activation energy was observed with carbon black concentrations.

Samples with the nominal composition Bi 2 Sr 2 GdCu 2 O y in Bi -2212 where Gd replaces Ca as well as samples without Gd were prepared by solid-state reaction method. From the room temperature X-ray diffraction data, the samples were found to be similar to the single phase Bi -2212 structure. Impedance studies were performed from room temperature to 423 K at different frequencies in the range of 10 to 700 KHz. The AC conductivity increases with temperature and frequency, exhibiting frequency dispersion at low temperature region. The activation energy from AC conductivity in the high temperature region is found to be 0.432 eV. The permitivity increases with the increase in temperature and at 373 K it shows a maximum value exhibiting a dielectric loss. Complex impedance spectra are analyzed in terms of bulk relaxation and interfacial effects. The activation energy of the dipoles involved in the relaxation was estimated to be 0.482 eV. The universal power law of Jonscher is verified in the present system.

AbstractThis work aims to study the electrical conduction mechanism in the dielectric material BaZr0.1Ti0.9O3(BZT) ceramics by applying AC signal in the frequency range of 102Hz to 106Hz. The phase purity and microstructure of the sample have been studied by X-ray diffraction refinement and field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) analysis. The appearance of resonance peaks in the loss tangent at high temperature is due to inherent dielectric relaxation processes of this oxide. The temperature dependent Cole-Cole plot has been studied in details to determine both the grain and grain boundary contribution to the conductivity. Electrical modulus analysis reveals that the hopping of charge carriers is the most probable conduction mechanism in BZT ceramics. The obtained data of AC conductivity obey the universal double power law and have been discussed in terms of microstructural network characteristics. The behavior of frequency exponent n of AC conductivity as a function of temperature verify the applicability of the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The AC conductivity data are used to estimate the minimum hopping length, density of states at Fermi level, thermal conductivity and apparent activation energy. The value of activation energy confirms that the oxygen vacancies play a vital role in the conduction mechanism.

Polypyrrole and silver nanoparticles have been synthesized at 277 K by chemical route. Nanoparticles of polypyrrole-silver (PPy-Ag) composites were prepared by mixing polypyrrole and silver nanoparticles in different weight percentages. Dielectric properties as a function of temperature in the range from 300 K to 550 K and frequency in the range from 50 Hz to 1 MHz have been measured. Dielectric constant decreased with increase in frequency and temperature. Dielectric loss decreased with increase in frequency and increased with increase in temperature. Using dielectric data AC conductivity has been determined. Conductivity was found to be in the order of 10−3 (Ω−1 m−1) and it increased with increase in temperature. Temperature variation of conductivity data has been analyzed in the light of Mott’s polaron hopping model. Activation energy for conduction has been determined. Activation energy was determined to be in the order of meV and it has increased with increase in frequency and Ag nanoparticles content. This is the first time that PPy-Ag nanocomposites have been investigated for dielectric properties and AC conductivity and data analyzed thoroughly.
