Impedance spectroscopy of Ba3Sr2DyTi3V7O30 ceramic

Abstract

Polycrystalline sample of Ba 3 Sr 2 DyTi 3 V 7 O 30 was prepared at 950°C using a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray structural analysis indicated the formation of a single-phase orthorhombic structure with lattice parameters: a = 12⋅2719 (39) Å, b = 8⋅9715(39) Å and c = 19⋅7812(39) Å. Microstructural study showed densely packed uniform distribution of grains over the surface of the sample. The a.c. impedance plots were used as tools to analyse the electrical response of the sample as a function of frequency at different temperatures (30-500°C). These plots revealed the presence of grain boundary effect, from 200°C onwards. Complex impedance analysis showed non-Debye type of dielectric relaxation. The Nyquist plots showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance character of Ba 3 Sr 2 DyTi 3 V 7 O 30 . A hopping mechanism of electrical transport processes in the system is evident from the modulus analysis. The activation energy of the compound (calculated both from loss and modulus spectrum) is the same, and hence the relaxation process may be attributed to the same type of charge carrier.

Electronic properties of polypyrrole based TiO2 nanofiber composite

“…The relaxation frequency of PPy/TiO 2 ‐nf composite for grain and grain boundary is studied by Nyquist plot [Figure (a)], and usually its response is in semicircular form . The centre of the semicircular arc's shifts toward the origin on increasing temperature as well as frequency which indicates that the a.c. conductivity of the samples increases with increase in temperature, and this behavior is also observed in Figure . The appearance of two arc's (one is for the grain boundaries at higher frequency region and second arc at low frequency is due to the grain effect) at all temperature [Figure (a)], which means that the electrical process obey two different relaxation mechanisms associated with grain and grain boundary.…”

“…This indicates an increase in AC conductivity with the rise in temperature and frequency. Here, at low frequency, the value of Z' decreases with the rise in temperature showing negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) type behavior, similar to semiconductors [42].…”
