Complex impedance spectra of ferroelectric mixed ceramic system ( Na 0.5 Bi 0.5)1-x Ca x Bi 4 Ti 4 O 15 with x=0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 1 was studied as a function of frequency and temperature in the range 1 KHz to 10 MHz and 30°C to 620°C respectively. Equivalent circuits involving resistive and capacitive elements at different temperatures, activation energies of relaxations and conduction were evaluated using impedance plots. A comparative study of impedance and conductivity facilities an insight in understanding the electrical nature of these electroceramics.

The perovskite structure material La 0.35 Sr 0.6 MnO 3 was sintered in air and the mixed ceramic of a 0.35 Sr 0.6 MnO 3 and 8 mol % Y 2 O 3 +ZrO 2 with a 1:1 mass rate was also sintered in air, both at 1530 K for 12 hour. The AC complex impedance spectra have been measured and the effect of the interface between La 0.35 Sr 0.6 MnO 3 and YSZ on dielectric relaxation properties of La 0.35 Sr 0.6 MnO 3 has been investigated. A schematic of diffusion phase formation and the equivalent circuits are proposed for explaining the results. In the complex impedance spectra, the first and second semicircles correspond to the grain-boundary and interface respectively. The results show that the dielectric relaxation properties and structure of the mixed ceramic are different to that of single phase La 0.35 Sr 0.6 MnO 3 . The interface has an important effect on the electric properties of the mixed ceramic and produces a dielectric relaxation in low frequency.

The effects of Bi-substitution on the complex impedance spectra of yttrium iron garnet (YIG) were studied in this paper. The polycrystalline yttrium iron garnet Y2BiFe5O12 (YIG: Bi) and Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) samples were prepared by solid-reaction method. The complex impedance spectra were measured in the frequency range from 1 KHz to 100MHz at several temperatures between 210oC and 500oC. The complex impedance sample shows that the YIG: Bi can be represented by double Cole-Cole semicircles, and the YIG can be represented by a single Cole semicircle. The physical structure of the specimen was visualized as comprising of small resistance grains separated by large resistance grain boundaries in accordance with the impedance spectra observations. The electrical processes in the sample were modeled in the form of an electrical equivalent circuit made up of a series combination of two parallel RC circuits attributed to grains and grain boundaries. The temperature dependence of bulk resistance indicated an evidence of Arrhenius-type thermally activated process, showing a close to linear variation up to a temperature of 740 K.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the considerable Ag2SO4 content on the electrical and dielectric properties of (AgPO3)1−x(Ag2SO4)x ion glass system as well as to extract thermodynamic parameters. Design/methodology/approach Glass samples of (AgPO3)1-x(Ag2SO4)x with different mole ratios of Ag2SO4 [x = 0.00, 0.10,0.15,0.20 and 0.25] have been synthesized and used. X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis were used to investigate structural and thermal properties, and then the electrical characterizations of the bulk glasses were performed in different frequency and temperature range. Findings For different ratios of Ag2SO4 on AgPO3, the bulk conductivity is enhanced with increasing the amount of Ag2SO4 until the composition of x = 0.20, after which the conductivity decreases. The general behavior of both ε’ and ε” decreases with increasing frequency and increases with increasing temperature. Complex impedance analysis studied by Z‘−Z’ and Cole–Cole plot at different temperatures revealed that bulk resistance decreases with temperature. Originality/value The calculated values of activation free energy, enthalpy and entropy change for different compositions of (AgPO3)1-x(Ag2SO4)x showed an increase in activation energy and enthalpy when Ag2SO4 ratio is increased in (AgPO3)1-x(Ag2SO4)x composition up to 20%, and then there is a decrease in their values at x = 25%, which may be explained based on non-bridging oxygen.

In this work, we have proposed a simple model to predicte the dielectric constant of CaCu3Ti4O12-SrTiO3composite ceramics. The model has been established based on the analysis of composition and microstructure. Two different compositions in the composite ceramics correspond to two different grain sizes, large for CaCu3Ti4O12, and small for SrTiO3, which has been identified by the x-ray diffraction, the scanning electron microscope and the energy spectrum analysis. All specimens have been assumed to be the barrier layer dielectrics in the model, according to the complex impedance spectra. The dielectric constant of serial, parallel, and logarithmic mixture models has been discussed. Compared with the experimental results, the model shows the similar variation tendency as SrTiO3content increases.

Polycrystalline of [( Na 0.535 K 0.480)0.966 Li 0.058] (Nb 0.90 Ta 0.10) O 3 samples were prepared using the high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates the formation of a single-phase with orthorhombic structure. AC impedance plots were used as tool to analyze the electrical behavior of the sample as a function of frequency at different temperatures. The AC impedance studies revealed the presence of grain effect, from 425°C onwards. Complex impedance analysis indicated non-Debye type dielectric relaxation. The Nyquist plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) characteristic of NKLNT. The AC conductivity results were used to correlate with the barrier hopping (CBH) model to evaluate the binding energy (Wm), the minimum hopping distance (R min ), the density of states at Fermi level (N(Ef)), and the activation energy of the compound.

Mixed-potential-type NO2 sensor based on yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ) with NiO sensing electrode was prepared by the screen-printing technique and its physical characteristics were studied by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The response of electromotive force (EMF) and complex impedance of the sensor were tested under different NO2 concentrations and temperatures. The results show that, at the range of 550–750 °C, the EMF values are negative and almost linear to the logarithm of NO2 concentration. But the sensitivity of the sensor and the amplitude of the EMF response to NO2 concentration both obviously decrease with the increase of the work temperature. In addition, the semicircular arcs of the complex impedance spectra shrink regularly with a raise of NO2 concentration at 600 °C.
