Temperature and frequency dependent dielectric capacitance and polarization performances of low dimensional perovskite based manganese stannate

Abstract

Manganese stannate perovskite nanoparticles were synthesized by applying a complexation mediated approach. Rietveld refinement of the XRD data exhibited orthorhombic structure with space group of Pnma. The structure included eightfold coordinated Mn2+ cation, surrounded by eight O2− anions and formed MnO8 polyhedra unit. Each polyhedra unit interconnected through the corner-sharing SnO6 octahedra with the formation of a cage-like network. The temperature and frequency dependent dielectric performances of manganese stannate were measured in the form of a device, which exhibited maximum dielectric constant value ~ 3445. The high dielectric constant value was originated due to the contribution of space charge polarization and orientation polarization of dipoles within the measured frequency ranges. Temperature and frequency dependent AC-conduction mechanism of the manganese stannate-based device involved both overlapping large polarons and non-overlapping small polarons. Electric field-dependent of polarization hysteresis loop of the device exhibited the maximum polarization value 1.5 µC/cm2 under the electric field of 3 kV/mm. Under the applied field of 2 kV/mm, the device exhibited a fatigue-free polarization with a maximum value of 0.92 µC/cm2, sustained for 103 cycles under ambient temperature condition.

“…Thus, high dielectric constant values were observed below 1 KHz. Above 1 kHz, the orientation of dipoles influences the dielectric constant [31]. At such high frequencies, electron mobility interferes with the alignment of dipoles and disrupts charge accumulation within dielectric materials, decreasing the dielectric constant [32].…”
