The ac conductivity and dielectric properties on CoFe2−xMnxO4 for x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 have been studied in detail. All the samples were prepared in nanocrystalline size. These materials are found to be crystallized to Fd <mml:math display="block"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>3</mml:mi> <mml:mo>¯</mml:mo> </mml:mover> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> m space group in cubic spinel structure. The dielectric constant and ac conductivity has been discussed as a function of frequency, temperature and composition. The relation between dielectric constant and ac conductivity has been analyzed and the results validate each other. The frequency response of ac conductivity (σac) obeys Johnschers power law and the parameters obtained, explain the sources of ac and dc electrical conductivity in the material. The frequency response of σac follows Maxwell–Wagner two-layer model. The influence of frequency as pumping force on activation energy has been determined. The temperature dependent ac conductivity shows the Arrhenius behavior. The σac observed to be enhanced with increase in frequency as well as temperature. The semiconducting behavior (NTCR) was also evident from temperature dependent electrical transport properties study. The low value of ac conductivity suggests a possible use of this material in dielectric applications.

Frequency-dependent dielectric constant, dielectric loss, AC conductivity values and complex impedance spectra of V2O5-added Ni–Co–Zn ferrites (Ni[Formula: see text]Co[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 + [Formula: see text]V2O5, where [Formula: see text] = 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5 wt.%) have been investigated at room temperature. The dielectric properties of the samples follow the Maxwell–Wagner polarization model. An inverse relationship was found between dielectric constant and AC electrical resistivity for all the samples. The dielectric constants decreased with the addition of V2O5, while the electrical resistivities of V2O5-added Ni–Co–Zn ferrites are found to be larger than that of pure Ni–Co–Zn ferrite. The AC conductivity was reduced with the addition of V2O5 to Ni–Co–Zn ferrite at lower-frequency region. However, AC conductivity shows a sharp increase at higher-frequency region, which could be attributed to the enhancement of electron hopping between the Fe[Formula: see text] and Fe[Formula: see text] ions in the ferrite matrix due to the activity of the grains. The complex impedance spectroscopy results through Cole–Cole/Nyquist plot have demonstrated a single semicircular arc. It indicates that conduction mechanism takes place predominantly through the grain/bulk property, which could be ascribed to the larger grain size of V2O5-added Ni–Co–Zn ferrites.

Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of a powdered sample of VTe in the temperature range 90 - 700 K, and of the a.c. electrical conductivity (σ), thermoelectric power (θ) and dielectric constant (ε′) of pressed pellets of the compound in the temperature range 300 -1100 K are reported. The compound is found to be antiferromagnetic with Neel temperature 420 ± 5 K. The effective paramagnetic moment and paramagnetic Curie temperature are found to be 1.6 μB and - 250 K, respectively. The dependence of σ, θ and ε′ on temperature shows no anomaly at the Neel temperature and is indicative of the metallic nature of the compound.

The polycrystalline sample of Li2Pb2Pr2W2Ti4V4O30 was prepared by a solid-state reaction technique. The preparation conditions of the compound have been optimized using thermal analysis (DTA and TGA) technique. Room temperature structural analysis confirms the formation of single phase compound in orthorhombic crystal system. The surface morphology of the sample, recorded by scanning electron microscope, shows uniform grain distribution on the surface of the sample. The observation of hysteresis loop confirmed that the material has ferroelectric properties at room temperature. Electrical properties of the material were studied by complex impedance spectroscopic technique. Temperature dependence of electrical parameters (impedance, modulus, etc.) is strongly correlated to the micro-structural characteristics (bulk, grain boundary, etc.) of the sample. A typical temperature-dependent resistive characteristic of the sample (i.e., negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR)) exhibits its semiconducting properties. The temperature dependence of dc conductivity shows a typical Arrhenius behavior. A signature of ionic conductivity in the system was observed in ac conductivity spectrum. The sample obeys Jonscher's universal power law. The hopping mechanism for electrical transport properties of the system with nonexponential-type conductivity relaxation was suggested from the electrical modulus analysis.

This paper focuses on the frequency- and temperature-dependent electrical transport properties of heavy fermion (HF) systems. For this, Kondo lattice model (KLM) with Coulomb correlation between [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] electrons at the same site is considered. The Hamiltonian is treated in mean-field approximation (MFA) for the Kondo hybridization and Heisenberg-type interaction to get mean-field Hamiltonian and it is written after the Fourier transformation. The Hartree–Fock-type approximation is considered for the Coulomb repulsion between [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] electrons, the perturbed part of the Hamiltonian. The two Green’s functions for the conduction and [Formula: see text]-electrons are calculated to define the self-energy. Then the frequency- and temperature-dependent optical conductivity and resistivity are calculated by using the Kubo’s formula within the linear dynamical response approach. They are studied by varying the model parameters. The anomalies and results obtained are compared with experimental data.

ABSTRACTIn this work, thin films of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 were synthesized by the nanoalloying approach: Nanoscale layers of the elements Element nanoscale layers of Bi, Sb and Te are stoichiometrically deposited on a cold substrate using a MBE setup and subjected to an annealing process in which a solid state reaction yielding Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 takes place. Besides the two binary compounds, nanoscale multilayer (ML) stacks of 9 nm Bi2Te3/9 nm Sb2Te3 were created. The electrical transport properties of the binary compounds were determined in dependence of composition. Compound formation was directly observed in temperature-dependent in-situ XRD scans and was found to start at ∼100 °C. The stability of the Bi2Te3/Sb2Te3 ML nanostructure against temperature-driven interdiffusion during annealing was examined by SIMS and TEM for an annealing temperature of 150 and 250 °C, respectively. A comparative TEM study of the as grown and annealed state is presented.

ABSTRACTThis work reports temperature dependent thermophysical properties characterization of electrodeposited Ni and NiMn alloys intended for LIGA Microsystems applications. A steady-state method is used to determine the in-plane thermal conductivity. Anisotropic thermal diffusivity characterization is performed using a photothermoelectric technique. The measured thermal properties are dependent on the deposition method and also on subsequent temperature annealing steps. The thermal transport measurement results are correlated with scanning electron microscopy studies of the grain structure and measurements of the electrical transport properties.
