Analysis of electrical measurements oncadmium chloridedoped PVA-PVP blend

Abstract: Films of Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) - Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) blend, doped withcadmium chloride (CdCl2) from 0.5 wt% up to 40 wt% andprepared by solution casting method,were studied using temperature dependent direct current (DC)electrical measurements. The DC electrical data were analyzed using Variable Range Hopping (VRH) modelin the temperature range varying from 303K up to 318K. The Mott parameters are determined. The study of time evolution of current passing through the sample, when a constant volta… Show more

“…The electrical conductivity ( σ ) of the films was found to increase exponentially with temperature in the studied temperature range ( Table 3 ), according to the known law [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]: where E a denotes the activation energy for d.c. conductivity, σ 0 is a characteristic parameter, which depends on the nature of the sample, and k B represents the Boltzmann’s constant.…”

“…This decrease in the value of bulk conductivity with an increase in dopant concentration is due to reduction in the concentration of available ions for conduction or transportation. This is due to interaction between the dopant (CdCl 2 ) and the polymer molecules (PVA/PVAc-PVP), there is a reduction of Cd 2+ ions into Cd atoms; because of this, there are selfgrown nano-structures and micro-structures formed in the sample, followed by a percolation threshold at lower, moderate and higher dopant levels, respectively, of CdCl 2 in the polymeric blend; this has been observed from DC electrical measurements as well as dispersion parameters (from optical studies) [58,59]. In figure 11d, larger values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss are observed for 0.5 and 2.2 wt% samples; it is in these samples that Cd nano-spheres and Cd nano-rods are found; here, the polarization of O − , H + , Cd 2+ and Cl − ions increase the interface area and so, there are more number of available charge carriers at low frequencies.…”

“…Figure 5, shows the absorption peaks and deconvolution plots performed using a Gaussian function in the range 400-2000 cm −1 , the positions of absorption bands at different calcination temperatures are depicted in table 1. The absorption peaks detected in all spectra in the range (3429.090-3462.588 cm −1 ) and 2328.141 cm −1 correspond to the stretching vibration of the intermolecular hydrogen bond (O-H), and O=C=O vibration in the air, respectively [42,43]. The peak band at (1628.9-1660.56 cm −1 ) is a characteristic of the Bi(Pb):2212 phase [44,45].…”
