The dielectric permittivity and AC conductivity of the perovskite-like system [(NH3)(CH2)6(NH3)]FexZn1-xCl4 (HDAFxZ1-x), where x=1, 0.8, 0.5 and 0, were measured at different frequencies in the temperature range 100 K<T<430 K. At temperatures below 273 K, for x=1 the material exhibits a transition at (245±1) K, while for x=0 transitions at (155±5) K, (220±4) K and (255±2) K were found. A rotational-type transition in the range 295 - 305 K was found for the Fe-containing materials. Ferroelectric transitions were observed in the high temperature region for all four concentrations. Differential thermal scanning confirmed the existence of the phase transitions above room temperature. The conductivity decreases with Zn addition, an the conduction mechanism varies with the temperature and concentration. Extrinsic conduction prevails for T<150 K for all concentrations. At intermediate temperatures an Arrhenius relation with frequency dependent activation energy (ΔE=0.46 - 0.06 eV) is observed for Fecontaining materials. The frequency dependent conductivity for all materials has a linear response following the power law: σac=A(T) ·ωS(T) with the exponent s varying with temperature and composition. At high temperatures, for Zn-rich materials series type conduction with s ∼ 0.6±0.1 is identified, while for Fe-rich materials band type conduction prevails. In the low temperature region ionic hopping prevails.

This paper reports electrical conductivity (s) and Seebeck coefficient (s) study on rare-earth nickelates RNiO3 where R = Nd, Sm and Eu in the temperature range 400-1200 K. They have orthorhombic unit cell. The majority charge carriers are holes throughout the measurement. Both s and S variations show three regions. In higher temperature region (Above 1000K) dominant conduction mechanism is intrisic band type whereas below this temperature, hopping of holes from Ni3+ to Ni2+ centres takes place. In lower temperature region, the electrical conductions is taken over by acceptor type impurities. The conduction mechanism is explained on the basis of every band model. Break temperatures as well as mobility have also been evaluated.

Polycrystalline samples of samarium barium tungstate [ Sm2(Ba0.5W0.5)2O7 : (SBW)] pyrochlore structure type oxides have been prepared by a solid-state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of this compound at room temperature suggest the formation of a single phase compound with orthorhombic structure. Studies of the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of compound as a function of frequency (4 kHz–1 MHz) at room temperature, and as a function of temperature (23–350°C) at 20 and 50 kHz frequencies suggest that the compound does not have dielectric anomaly. The variation of dc resistivity suggests the semiconductor characteristics of the material. The value of activation energy (E a ~ 0.43 at 20 kHz and E a ~ 0.29 at 50 kHz) of the above mentioned compound has been calculated from the slope of the ln σac versus 1/T graph in the high temperature region (> 240°C). The low value of activation energy supports the superionic nature of the compounds in the high temperature region.

LATP-based composite electrolytes were prepared by sintering the mixtures of LATP precursor and La2O3 nano-powder. Powder X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy suggest that La2O3 can react with LATP during sintering to form fine LaPO4 particles that are dispersed in the LATP matrix. The room temperature conductivity initially increases with La2O3 nano-powder addition showing the maximum of 0.69 mS∙cm−1 at 6 wt.%, above which, conductivity decreases with the introduction of La2O3. The activation energy of conductivity is not largely varied with the La2O3 content, suggesting that the conduction mechanism is essentially preserved despite LaPO4 dispersion. In comparison with the previously reported LATP-LLTO system, although some unidentified impurity slightly reduces the conductivity maximum, the fine dispersion of LaPO4 particles can be achieved in the LATP–La2O3 system.
