The polycrystalline sample of was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. The effect of temperature on impedance parameters was studied using an impedance analyzer in a wide frequency range (  Hz). The real and imaginary parts of complex impedance trace semicircles in the complex plane. The temperature-dependent plots reveal the presence of both bulk and grain boundary effects above C. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature. This exhibits a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior of the material. The modulus analysis suggests a possible hopping mechanism for electrical transport processes of the material. The nature of variation of dc conductivity suggests the Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity.

The AC complex impedance spectroscopy technique has been used to obtain the electrical parameters of polycrystalline sample of (Ba0.85Ca0.15) (Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 in a wide frequency range at different temperatures. This sample was prepared by a high temperature solid-state reaction technique and single phase formation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. This study was carried out by the means of simultaneous analysis of impedance, modulus, and electrical conductivity. The Cole-Cole (Nyquist) plots suggest that the grains and grain boundaries are responsible in the conduction mechanism of the material at high temperature. The Cole- Cole (Nyquist) plot studies revealed the presence of grain and grain boundary effect at 485 ?C. On the other hand, it showed only the presence of grain boundary component of the resistivity at 535 ?C. Complex impedance analysis indicated the presence of non-Debye type dielectric relaxation. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature similar to a semiconductor, and the Cole-Cole (Nyquist) plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) character of (Ba0.85Ca0.15 )(Ti0.9Zr0.1 )O3. The value of activation energy is found to be 0.7433 eV, which suggests that the conduction may be the result of defect and charge carriers present in the materials.

The polycrystalline sample of LiPb 2 V 5 O 15 was prepared by a mixed oxide method at low temperature (i.e. 550°C). Preliminary structural analysis confirmed the formation of the compound of an orthorhombic crystal system. The impedance parameters of the material were studied using complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) in a wide temperature (i.e. 30–450°C) and frequency (i.e. 102–106 Hz) range. From the complex impedance plots, grain/grain boundary effects and relaxation phenomenon were observed above 30°C. Study of electrical conductivity suggests that the compound exhibits the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior like a semiconductor.

Polycrystalline sample of NaCa 2 Nb 5 O 15 was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. Preliminary X-ray structural analysis exhibits the orthorhombic crystal structure of the compound at room temperature. Detailed dielectric studies of NaCa 2 Nb 5 O 15 over a wide range of temperature (31–500°C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) did not show any dielectric anomaly (or ferroelectric phase transition) as observed in other members of the tungsten bronze structural family. However, the low loss tangent and dielectric constant increase with increasing temperature. Complex impedance and modulus plots (at different temperature and frequency) show the existence of non-Debye type of relaxation process in the compound. Complex modulus spectrum shows only grain contribution in the compound. Electric modulus analysis suggests that a possible hopping mechanism is evident for electrical transport processes in the system. Studies of AC conductivity with frequency suggest that the material obeys Jonscher's universal power law.

AbstractA polycrystalline sample of KCa2Nb5O15 with tungsten bronze structure was prepared by a mixed oxide method at high temperature. A preliminary structural analysis of the compound showed an orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature. Surface morphology of the compound shows a uniform grain distribution throughout the surface of the sample. Studies of temperature variation on dielectric response at various frequencies show that the compound has a transition temperature well above the room temperature (i.e., 105°C), which was confirmed by the polarization measurement. Electrical properties of the material have been studied using a complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) technique in a wide temperature (31–500°C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) range that showed only bulk contribution and non-Debye type relaxation processes in the material. The activation energy of the compound (calculated from both the loss and modulus spectrum) is same, and hence the relaxation process may be attributed to the same type of charge carriers. A possible ‘hopping’ mechanism for electrical transport processes in the system is evident from the modulus analysis. A plot of dc conductivity (bulk) with temperature variation demonstrates that the compound exhibits Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity.

Abstract Lead free hybrid halide perovskite (CH3NH3)3Bi2Br9 has been successfully synthesized by mechano-chemical method. The microstructure analysis by Rietveld’s refinement method revealed that the crystal belongs to trigonal system with space group P3 ̅m1. The obtained microstructural parameters are well in agreement with the previously published data. Temperature-dependent ac conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, and complex dielectric properties have been investigated in detail. The negative temperature coefficient of resistance behaviour reveals the semiconducting nature of the materials. The complex impedance spectroscopy also supports the semiconducting nature of the sample with activation energy for conduction ~0.38 eV.

The polycrystalline sample of KPb 2 V 5 O 15 was prepared by a mixed-oxide method relatively at low temperature (i.e., 550°C). X-ray diffraction studies of the compound showed the formation of single phase orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature. SEM micrograph showed the homogeneous distribution of grains throughout the sample. Electric properties were analyzed using the complex impedance spectroscopy. The modulus plot showed the presence of both the grain and grain boundary effect. The bulk impedance evaluated from the Nyquist plots was observed to decrease with the rise in temperature, showing a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The variation of AC electrical conductivity (σ AC ) was measured in a wide temperature (30–500°C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) range. The activation energy of the compound calculated from both the impedance and modulus spectrum was found to be the same.

Abstract0.5BiNdxFe1−x O 3 − 0.5PbTiO3 (BNxF1−x − PT)(x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) composites were successfully synthesized by a solid state reaction technique. At room temperature, X-ray diffraction shows tetragonal structure for all concentrations of Nd doped 0.5BiFeO3 − 0.5PbTiO3 composites. The nature of Nyquist plot confirms the presence of bulk effects only for BNxF1−x − PT (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20) composites. The bulk resistance is found to decreases with the increasing temperature as well as Nd concentration and exhibits a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior. Both the complex impedance and modulus studies have suggested the presence of non-Debye type of relaxation in the composites. Conductivity spectra reveal the presence of hopping mechanism in the electrical transport process of the composites. The activation energy calculated from impedance plot of the composite decreases with increasing Ndx concentration and found to be 0.89, 0.76, 0.71 and 0.70 eV for x=0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 respectively.

AbstractThe 79,81Br NQR spectra of tetraanilinium decabromotricadmate (1) and 4-methylpyridinium tribromocadmate (2 ) were studied as function of temperature and their crystal structures were determined. (C6H5NH3)4Cd3Br10 (1): Space group D1 52h - Pbca , Z = 4, a = 2507.8(7) pm, b = 1985.4(5)pm, c = 763.0(2)pm. Characteristic for the structure are trioctahedral units [Cd3Br10] condensed to planes. Within the units the octahedra are face connected and further condensed to planes via common corners. Two types of hydrogen bonds are observed. The 81Br NQR lines with frequencies (MHz, 298 K) of 62.98, 52.59, 43.39, 41.82, and 40.71 are little temperature dependent with positive and negative coefficients. The wide frequency range of the NQR lines is reflected by the wide range of the intraionic distances, 263 ≤ d(Br-Cd)/pm ≤300. (4-(CH3)C5H4NH)CdBr3 (2): C52h - P21/n, Z = 4, a = 1228.8(5}pm, b= 1168.5(5)pm, c = 758.3(3)pm, β = 95.30(1)°; the CdBr⊖3 ions are condensed to chains. The 81Br NQR spectrum is a triplet with frequencies (MHz, 298 K) of 66.01, 55.39, and 50.75. The temperature dependence is small, with positive and negative temperature coefficients. The distances d(Cd-Br) are 256 pm (Cd-Br(2)), 261 pm (Cd -Br(1)), and 284 pm (Cd-Br(3)) and in the chain [CdBr3]Br(1) and Br(3) are bridging atoms. The relations between Br-NQR and crystal structures are discussed.

The polycrystalline sample of (BiLi) 1/2 (FeV) 1/2O3 was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. A preliminary X-ray structural analysis exhibited the formation of single-phase compound with an orthorhombic structure. Detailed studies of electrical properties of the compound, investigated in a wide frequency range (1kHz-1MHz) at different temperatures by complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) technique, showed that these properties of the material are strongly dependent on frequency and temperature. Ac conductivity is found to obey the Johnscher’s law. The M-H curve shows the presence of ferromagnetism in the studied compound.

The polycrystalline sample of Ba2Mg2Fe[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] was prepared by solid-state reaction technique. Room-temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) has confirmed the formation of rhombohedral structure. The electrical properties of the sample were studied in wide ranges of temperatures and frequencies. The impedance analysis indicates the presence of bulk effect. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature and exhibits NTCR behavior. This compound also exhibits the temperature-dependent non-Debye type of relaxation phenomena. The presence of non-Debye type of relaxation has been confirmed by the complex impedance analysis. The variation of DC conductivity (bulk) with temperature demonstrates that the compound exhibits Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity. The activation energy of the compound is found to be 0.55[Formula: see text]eV in high-temperature region.
