Abstract

In this work, we study the sample prepared using conventional solid state synthesis under air. X-ray analysis shows that it is a single-phase TTB structure. Impedance spectroscopy analysis of the dielectric properties of ceramics were investigated in the frequency range, 10Hz-1MHz and in the temperature region from ambient temperature to 350°C. Impedance and conductivity plots were used to analyze the sample behaviour versus frequency. Cole–Cole plots showed non-Debye relaxation. The nature of variation of the electrical conductivity, and the activation energy value for different temperature ranges, indicate that the conduction process is of mixed-type (i.e., ionic polaronic and space charge generated from the oxygen ion vacancies). Analysis results of dielectric properties will be compared to three compounds of TTB structure that are derived from SKN compound family: (PKN) in which the Pb is substituted by (KLN) in which the Li is substituted by Sr, and (PKGN) in which the Pb and Gd are substituted by Sr.
