Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of KYHP 3O 10 were obtained by heating a mixture containing K 2CO 3, Y 2O 3 and H 3PO 4 for 12 h at 553 K. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and examined by impedance spectroscopy technique. Ac conductivity and dielectric relaxation in this compound have been evaluated. A break was observed in the curve of log σT versus 1000/T, accompanied at high temperature by a decreasing of activation energy and increasing of conductivity about 10 times higher than that of KDyHP 3O 10. These evolutions are strongly coupled to the structure modification. Dielectric relaxation is examined using the modulus formalism. The suitability of stretched exponential relaxation function has been investigated. The activation energies obtained from the impedance and modulus spectra are close, suggesting that the ionic transport in the material investigated is due to a hopping mechanism.
