Polymer solid electrolytes PMMA(80,70,60,50): PC(10,20,30,40):PVP(10):LiClO4(5) were synthesized according to stoichiometric ratios using solution cast method. FTIR study confirms the good complexation among the constituent materials in the polymers matrix. Complex impedance and electric modulus studies are carried out and explained. From cole-cole plots, maximum decrement of resistance is observed at a threshold ratio 70Wt% PMMA: 20Wt% PC: 10Wt% PVP: 5Wt% LiClO4 and this could be due to the high mobility of the Li+ ion in the polymer network due to the plasticizer. The plasticizer plays an important role in decreasing the viscosity of the system, which in turn favors the mobility of segmental motion of polymer network and fast ion motion in the polymer. Real and Imaginary electric modulus spectra show the presence of relaxation peaks and confirm that the polymer solid electrolyte is an ionic conductor.

IR Transparent ZnS ceramics processed through chemical vapour deposition were subjected to Hot Isostatic pressing and the samples in both the conditions were characterized by XRD, microstructure and high temperature impedance spectroscopic studies for the dielectric and electrical properties. Both the samples have shown cubic sphalerite phase with enhanced orientation along (111) plane as a result of hot isostatic pressing as revealed by XRD.HIP treatment to ZnS facilitated the enhancement of the homogeneity of microstructure and enhancement in the grain size from 10μm to 50μm. The electrical behavior of both the samples was investigated by AC impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 1Hz to 1MHz from RT to 500°C in dry air. HIP has resulted in a significant increase in the dielectric constant, which can be attributed to the increase in homogeneity and the grain size. Further, the complex impedance plots exhibited two impedance semicircles identified in the frequency range is explained by the grain and grain boundary effects. An equivalent-circuit analysis of AC impedance spectra based on the brick-layer model was performed. Activation energies obtained from the conductivity plots indicates an Arrhenius type thermally activated process.

Double rare-earth (La; Sm/Gd) substituted Aurivillius family of Bismuth Layered Structured Ferroelectrics (BLSF) namely Bi2.6Sm0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BSLT; sample-A), Bi2.6Gd0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BGLT; sample-B), single phase ceramics were prepared by solid state route. In addition, intergrowth (x BSLT - (1-x) BGLT, where x=0.49; sample-C) and solid solution (BSLT­x - BGLTy; where x + y=0.4; sample-D) materials were prepared. Dielectric, ferroelectric and Raman spectroscopic properties were studied on the said above materials. The X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectra revealed well-formation of stable structure. Though, the sample-C and sample-D have lower coercive field, compared to the sample-A and sample-B, but they exhibited sharp hysterisis loop. Therefore the instrinsic defects of sample-D inhabits more sensitivity towards the ferroelectric behaviour. The results were corroborated to the impedance and dielectrical data. The results were consistent with the SEM micrographs and complex impedance plots. An attempt is made to understand the effect of rare-earth ions on A-site of layered-pervoskite structure, defined as: (Bi2O2)2+(An-1BnO3n+1)2-.The term n represents number of pervoskite blocks interleaved with the bismuth oxide layers.

The order parameter and the conformations of the lipophilic chains in the C12E3 / decane / water ternary system have been studied by deuterium NMR and C-D stretching Raman spectroscopy. The order parameter and the trans fraction of the C-C bond of decane molecules decrease steadily or remain nearly constant with increasing decane concentration without noticeable changes at the phase transitions. On addition of decanemolecules to the C12E3 /water system, the effective volume of the lipophilic part of a single surfactant molecule increases as a result of the penetration of the added decane molecules into the lipophilic layer, leading to a high mobility of the alkyl chain. To minimize the resulting increase in the effective cross-sectional area of a surfactant molecule, the molecular chains of the surfactant reorient remarkably in the concentration region near the phase transitions, and the shape of the self-organizing structure changes to the one with a larger packing parameter.
