The dc electrical conductivities of potassium vanadate, lithium vanadate, cesium vanadate, and their solid solutions potassium-lithium vanadate, potassium-cesium vanadate are measured in the temperature range covering their transition temperature using two-probe electrode technique. These ceramics show a remarkable change in conductivity in their phase transition region. The results are found to obey the conventional exponential law and the activation energy is calculated and it is found that thc activation energy in the paraelectric state is higher than in ferroelectric state. The activation energy depends not only on temperature but on concentration of potassium vanadate in both solid solutions.Die Gleichstromleitfahigkeit von Kalium-, Lithium-und Casiumvanadaten und ihren festen Losungen K Li-und K-Cs-Vanadat werden mittels Zweisondentechnik im Temperaturbereich der Phaseniiber-gHnge gemessen. In diesen Gebieten zeigen diese Keramiken bemerkenswerte Anderungen der Leitfahigkeit. Die Leitfahigkeit folgt dem iiblichen Exponentialgesetz, die Aktivierungsenergie ist im paraelektrischen Zustand groBer als im ferroelektrischen. Die Aktivierungsenergie hingt nicht nur von der Temperatur, sondern auch vom K-Vanadat-Gehalt in der festen Losung ab.
The d.c. electrical conductivity of sodium vanadate, potassium vanadate, lithium vanadate and their solid solutions sodium-potassium vanadate, sodium-lithium vanadate were measured by a two-probe method in the temperature range covering their transition points. These materials show sharp change in conductivity at their phase transition temperatures. In sodium, potassium and lithium vanadates an exponential increase in d.c. conductivity is observed in ferroelectric region while discontinuities are observed above the transition temperatures. The activation energy in paraelectric state of the solid solutions is found to be higher than in ferroelectric state. In solid solutions the activation energy depends upon sodium vanadate concentration.
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.
