Polycrystalline samples of manganese and iron substituted lead zirconium titanate (PZT) with general formula Pb(Zr0.65−xAxTi0.35)O3 (A = Mn3+ and Fe3+) ceramics have been synthesized by high temperature solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were recorded at room temperature to study the crystal structure. All the patterns could be refined by employing the Rietveld method to R3c space group with rhombohedral symmetry. Microstructural properties of the materials were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and compositional analysis was carried out by energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) measurements. All the materials exhibit ferroelectric to paraelectric transition. The variation of dielectric constant and loss tangent with temperature and frequency is investigated. The decrease of activation energy and increases of AC conductivity with the Fe3+ or Mn3+ ion concentration have been observed. The AC conductivity has been analyzed by the power law. The frequency exponent with the function of temperature has been analyzed by assuming that the AC conduction mechanism is the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The conduction in the present sample is found to be of bipolaron type for Mn3+ ion-doped sample. However, the conduction mechanism could not be explained by CBH model for Fe3+ ion-doped sample.

Abstract The Bi1 − xBaxFeO3 (BiBaFeO3) multiferroic nanoparticles with different Ba molar concentrations were fabricated in reliance on the solid-state reaction technique. Nanostructures of the prepared samples were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) together with Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, whereas the ac conductivity, dielectric and ferroelectric features were examined depending on the RLC Bridge, and Sawyer–Tower circuit. XRD patterns displayed the creation of rhombohedral–hexagonal single-phase of BiBaFeO3. The formation of BiBaFeO3 multiferroic nanoparticles was confirmed by FTIR spectra. Curie temperature (TC) was observed around 1121–1189 K. Ferroelectric polarization was enhanced with remnant polarization of 88.8 µC/cm2 by Ba2+ ions substitution at x = 0.15 mol%. Besides, ac electrical conductivities as a function of frequency as well as temperature were reported for all BiBaFeO3 multiferroic nanoparticles, which exhibit a strong frequency dependence with conduction mechanism is the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. The obtained high polarization and Curie temperature enhance their use in information storage devices.

The glass composition 40 Li 2 O –5 WO 3–(55−x) B 2 O 3: x V 2 O 5 for x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 is chosen for the present study. The glass samples were synthesized by conventional melt-quenching technique. The dielectric properties such as constant (ε′), loss (tan δ) and ac conductivity (σac) are carried out as a function of temperature (30–270°C) and frequency (102–105 Hz). The glass sample (at x = 0.6) exhibited highest ac conductivity (σac) and spreading factor (β) among all the samples. All glasses exhibited mixed conduction (both electronic and ionic) at high temperatures. The frequency exponent s denotes the ac conduction mechanism is associated with both QMT model (at low temperatures) and CBH model (at high temperatures).

[Formula: see text](BiFe[Formula: see text]GdxO3)–y(PbZrO3) composites [Formula: see text], having four different Gd concentrations ([Formula: see text], 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2), were synthesized and their structural, dielectric, and ferroelectric properties have been studied using different characterization techniques. In addition, to investigate the effect of ion implantation on the microstructure and dielectric properties, these composites were exposed to 2[Formula: see text]MeV He[Formula: see text]-ions. Modifications of the structure, surface morphology and electrical properties of the samples before and after ion exposure were demonstrated using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique, and LCR meter. The compositional analysis was carried out using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). XRD results demonstrated a decrease in the intensity profile of the dominant peak by a factor of 6 showing a degradation of the crystallinity. Willliamson–Hall (WH) plots reveal reduction in the grain size after irradiation along with an increase in strain and dislocation density. A decrease in the dielectric constant and loss has been recorded after ion beam exposure with reduction in ac conductivity value. The contribution of grain and grain boundary effect in conduction mechanism has been addressed using Nyquist plots. All the samples demonstrate a lossy ferroelectric loop which shows a clear modification upon irradiation. The role of structural defects modifying the physical properties of the composite materials is discussed in this work.

In this study, ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites were prepared by high-energy ball milling technique and characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV–visible spectroscopy and dielectric spectroscopy. The amount of Fe2O3 in the ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites was varied at the rates of 1[Formula: see text]wt.%, 3[Formula: see text]wt.% and 5[Formula: see text]wt.% in order to investigate its influence on the structural, optical and dielectric properties of the nanocomposites. XRD patterns of nanocomposites revealed no shift in peak positions and hence confirmed the formation of composites after ball milling. Further, it was observed from FESEM analysis that Fe2O3 particles were distributed randomly on the ZnO matrix of the nanocomposites. ZnO–Fe2O3 nanocomposites reveal extended optical absorption in the range of 400–600[Formula: see text]nm from UV studies. The dielectric constant and loss of the nanocomposites decrease exponentially with increase in frequency. The composition and frequency dependences of the dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity are explained based on the Maxwell–Wagner effect and Koop’s theory.

A system of (100-x)B2O3⋅xCdSO4glasses (0 [Formula: see text]x [Formula: see text] 40) is set by the ordinary quenching method. Density ([Formula: see text]), molar volume (V[Formula: see text]) and oxygen ion density (N[Formula: see text]) are found to increase with the increase of CdSO4in the samples. The dc conductivity ([Formula: see text]) and the ac conductivity ([Formula: see text]) are measured in the temperature range from 308 to 735 K. [Formula: see text] is found to follow the thermal activation Arrhenius relation with activation energies between 0.36 and 0.76 eV. Ac conductivity and the exponent factor (s) confirm that the CBH model is the origin of the conduction. The dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]) and loss ([Formula: see text]) are studied as a function of the temperature and frequency. The dielectric data are fitted according to the Cole–Cole equations. The values of [Formula: see text] parameter are found to vary between 0.2 and 0.58 which means that these glasses exhibit a wide distribution of relaxation times.

Spark discharge is a technique for producing nanoparticles from conductive materials. We had previously used this method to produce Au - Pd bimetallic nanoparticles with a mean diameter of around 6 nm. In this study we changed the operating parameters (e.g. spark energy and frequency, carrier gas type and flow rate) and analyzed the generated particles for their structures and compositions. X ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed evidence of the formation of alloy phase in all the samples. Compositional analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) revealed that the average mixing ratio was influenced by the polarity, the spark frequency and the gap distance between anode and cathode.

Organic molecular ferroelectric diisopropylammonium chloride (dipaCl) was successfully synthesized using diisopropylamine, hydrochloric acid (57%) and methanol solution. Dielectric permittivity, impedance, modulus spectroscopy and conductivity were systematically studied by Capacitance–Conductance ([Formula: see text] – [Formula: see text] measurements in the temperature range of 373–445 K. Dielectric property tests clearly show that the organic molecular ferroelectric dipaCl obeys Curies–Weiss law 1/[Formula: see text] = ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text]. The real (Z′) and imaginary (Z′′) parts of the electrical modulus were calculated from the various values of 𝜀′ and 𝜀′′. It is shown that AC conductivity satisfies the relation [Formula: see text], where the power exponent [Formula: see text] depends on temperature and frequency. From Arrhenius equation, the activation energies [Formula: see text]and [Formula: see text] are also calculated which describes the complete conduction mechanism of dipaCl.
