Octahedral distortion-driven electrical and vibrational properties of A2ErTaO6 (A=Sr and Ca) double perovskite oxides
Rietveld refinement analysis indicates that [Formula: see text]ErTaO6 ([Formula: see text], Ca[Formula: see text] ceramics prepared by a solid-state route are crystallized in monoclinic perovskite phase with space group [Formula: see text]. Raman scattering and infrared spectroscopy are used to investigate the structure and phonon modes of the samples. Using Lorentzian lines, we have fitted the Raman spectra and the major Raman modes are assigned. Phonon vibrational frequency is modulated with the [Formula: see text]-site cationic change. Impedance spectra of the samples over the frequency range of 100[Formula: see text]Hz–1.1[Formula: see text]MHz are investigated at different temperatures from 303[Formula: see text]K to 573[Formula: see text]K. Cole–Cole relaxation of dielectric constant is modified with the electrical conduction parameter to describe the temperature dependence of dielectric constant. The frequency-dependent conductivity spectra follow the double power-law.
