Abstract
A.C. electrical conductivity of pottasium perchlorate (KP) has been measured in the temperature range 25–325°C at frequencies ranging from 50–500 Hz using an automated technique. Three regions with activation energies. 1.08 ± 0.02, 0.66 ± 0.01 and 0.39 ± 0.04eV are observed in ln( σT) vs 1/ T plots at frequencies < - 50 Hz. Dielectric loss measurements on KP samples doped with CrO 4 2− and SO 4 2− ions show the presence of impurity-vacancy complexes with reorientation energies of 0.99 ±0.02 and 1.07 ± 0.01 eV respectively. The results are interpreted in terms of a defect model which highlights the role of various conduction and relaxation mechanisms in the a.c. electrical properties of the material.
