The AC complex impedance spectroscopy technique has been used to obtain the electrical parameters of polycrystalline sample of (Ba0.85Ca0.15) (Ti0.9Zr0.1)O3 in a wide frequency range at different temperatures. This sample was prepared by a high temperature solid-state reaction technique and single phase formation was confirmed by X-ray diffraction technique. This study was carried out by the means of simultaneous analysis of impedance, modulus, and electrical conductivity. The Cole-Cole (Nyquist) plots suggest that the grains and grain boundaries are responsible in the conduction mechanism of the material at high temperature. The Cole- Cole (Nyquist) plot studies revealed the presence of grain and grain boundary effect at 485 ?C. On the other hand, it showed only the presence of grain boundary component of the resistivity at 535 ?C. Complex impedance analysis indicated the presence of non-Debye type dielectric relaxation. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature similar to a semiconductor, and the Cole-Cole (Nyquist) plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) character of (Ba0.85Ca0.15 )(Ti0.9Zr0.1 )O3. The value of activation energy is found to be 0.7433 eV, which suggests that the conduction may be the result of defect and charge carriers present in the materials.

Grain Boundary Effect

Yttrium-doped (Sr0.45Pb0.55)TiO3 ceramics have been studied by complex impedance analysis. As a sort of NTC-PTC composite thermistor, it exhibited a significantly large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity below Tc in addition to the ordinary PTC characteristics above Tc. It is found that the NTC effect in NTC-PTC materials was not originated from the deep energy level of donor (bulk behavior), but from the electrical behavior of the grain boundary. Therefore, the NTC-PTC composite effect was assumed to be a grain boundary effect, and yttrium was a donor at shallow energy level. The NTC-PTC ceramics were grain boundary controlled materials.

The polycrystalline sample of KPb 2 V 5 O 15 was prepared by a mixed-oxide method relatively at low temperature (i.e., 550°C). X-ray diffraction studies of the compound showed the formation of single phase orthorhombic crystal structure at room temperature. SEM micrograph showed the homogeneous distribution of grains throughout the sample. Electric properties were analyzed using the complex impedance spectroscopy. The modulus plot showed the presence of both the grain and grain boundary effect. The bulk impedance evaluated from the Nyquist plots was observed to decrease with the rise in temperature, showing a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The variation of AC electrical conductivity (σ AC ) was measured in a wide temperature (30–500°C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) range. The activation energy of the compound calculated from both the impedance and modulus spectrum was found to be the same.

BST ceramics with doping of 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method and sintered at 1100°. X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out to verify the structural properties. 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics were crystallized with weak tetragonal structure at 1100°C. The grain growth behavior and shapes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy images. The electrical properties of 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics were investigated by impedance spectroscopy at the different temperatures (350, 375, and 400°C). Impedance spectroscopy data presented in Nyquist plot show the existence of both grain and grain boundary effects in all specimens. 1, 3, and 5 wt.% ZnBO doped BST ceramics showed negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR). Also, the capacitances and resistances of grains and grain boundaries for 1, 3, and 5 wt.% doped BST ceramics were simulated through equivalent circuit with the parallelly connected capacitors and resistors. The capacitance and resistance were decreased when temperature and ZnBO dopants were increased.

The polycrystalline sample of was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. The effect of temperature on impedance parameters was studied using an impedance analyzer in a wide frequency range (  Hz). The real and imaginary parts of complex impedance trace semicircles in the complex plane. The temperature-dependent plots reveal the presence of both bulk and grain boundary effects above C. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature. This exhibits a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior of the material. The modulus analysis suggests a possible hopping mechanism for electrical transport processes of the material. The nature of variation of dc conductivity suggests the Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity.

The polycrystalline sample of LiPb 2 V 5 O 15 was prepared by a mixed oxide method at low temperature (i.e. 550°C). Preliminary structural analysis confirmed the formation of the compound of an orthorhombic crystal system. The impedance parameters of the material were studied using complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) in a wide temperature (i.e. 30–450°C) and frequency (i.e. 102–106 Hz) range. From the complex impedance plots, grain/grain boundary effects and relaxation phenomenon were observed above 30°C. Study of electrical conductivity suggests that the compound exhibits the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior like a semiconductor.

Ntc Thermistors

Nb/Al-modified CuO ceramics (yNb/0.02Al-CuO, 0 ? y ? 0.07, denoted as NACO) were synthesized using sol-gel method for applications in negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors. The phase structure, microstructure and electrical properties of the ceramics were investigated. XRD investigation reveals that the NACO ceramics has the main phase with monoclinic crystalline structure. The analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proved the existence of Cu2+/Cu+ and Nb5+/Nb4+ ions. Temperature dependence of the resistivity indicated that the NACO ceramics present typical NTC characteristic. The NTC materials? constant, B value, can be adjusted from 2430K to 3805K by changing the Nb-concentration in the Al-doped CuO ceramics. Among four applied calibration equations the Hoge-3 equation is the most effective one for the resistancetemperature calibration of the prepared NTC thermistors. The complex impedance analysis was performed and revealed that both grain effect and grain boundary effect similarly contribute to the electrical conductive behaviour and NTC feature of the NACO ceramics. The band conduction and polaron hopping conduction are proposed as the conduction mechanisms in the NACO thermistors.

Abstract Lead free hybrid halide perovskite (CH3NH3)3Bi2Br9 has been successfully synthesized by mechano-chemical method. The microstructure analysis by Rietveld’s refinement method revealed that the crystal belongs to trigonal system with space group P3 ̅m1. The obtained microstructural parameters are well in agreement with the previously published data. Temperature-dependent ac conductivity, impedance spectroscopy, and complex dielectric properties have been investigated in detail. The negative temperature coefficient of resistance behaviour reveals the semiconducting nature of the materials. The complex impedance spectroscopy also supports the semiconducting nature of the sample with activation energy for conduction ~0.38 eV.

We have investigated the structure, dielectric and electrical properties of lead-free polycrystalline (Na[Formula: see text] K[Formula: see text] Li[Formula: see text]) NbO3 ceramics as a function of temperature and frequency in order to understand the intrinsic contribution of grain/bulk and grain boundary effects toward the dielectric response as well as the electrical conduction mechanism in the samples fabricated by microwave sintering method. X-ray diffraction analysis exhibits perovskite structure with orthorhombic symmetry, which is well supported by the Raman spectroscopic analysis. A minor secondary impurity phase of tungsten bronze structure was observed for samples sintered at 1050[Formula: see text]C, which gets weaker for samples sintered at 1150[Formula: see text]C. Dielectric permittivity was enhanced by 50%, although there was a reduction in the dielectric loss by about 50% at Curie temperature (450[Formula: see text]C) for samples sintered at 1150[Formula: see text]C. Complex impedance spectroscopic analysis indicated non-Debye-type dielectric relaxation present in the samples, and this phenomenon followed thermally activated process related to hopping mechanism. Nyquist plot showed the negative temperature coefficient of resistance, characteristic of the samples.
