Sr 0.2 Na 0.4 Nd 0.4 Bi 4 Ti 4 O 15 is prepared by Sol-Gel route using the modified polymeric precursor method based on the Pechini process and its electrical properties are investigated by Complex Impedance Spectroscopy (CIS). Results are presented in two ways, complex plane plots (real versus imaginary) and spectroscopic plots (real and imaginary against frequency). CIS has provided convincing evidence for the existence of both grain (bulk) and grain-boundary effects that were separated in the frequency domain of the impedance spectrum. Experimental data are fitted to two parallel RC equivalent circuits in series. The values of resistance and capacitance of bulk and grain boundary contributions are also calculated. Relaxation times are calculated for both grains and grainboundaries. Conduction and charge carrier behaviors are studied from frequency and temperature dependence of ac conductivity. The ac conductivity follows a two-power law behavior at different temperatures with frequency exponents s 1 and s 2 .
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.
