Negative dielectric constant (NDC) materials have the potential for unique optical and microwave applications and their use can greatly reduce the complexity of device architecture. The observation of temperature‐dependent NDC above 503 K in the perovskite PrMnO3 is reported which obeys the classical Drude theory. This is confirmed through impedance spectroscopy, and the principle behind the associated negative dielectric loss is explained using the Axelrod mechanism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
