Abstract
In this study, we successfully synthesized tetragonal tungsten bronze with the nominal formula Sr2GdTi2Nb3O15 and systematically examined of its structure, dielectric, and electrical properties. The material was synthesized through the solid-state reaction technique at a temperature of 1350 °C. The formation of the tetragonal tungsten bronze in the P4/mbm space group was verified via Rietveld refinement using X-ray diffraction data. The electrical characteristics of the ceramic were examined using non-destructive complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) across a range of frequencies (10–106 Hz) at various temperatures. The real component of impedance (Z') displayed a decrease with rising frequency, suggesting a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) for this sample. The Cole-Cole plot of the compound exhibits two semicircles, with the compound's resistance gradually decreasing as the temperature increased. Moreover, the activation energy (Ea) was found to be approximately 0.9 eV, which confirms that oxygen vacancies are responsible for the observed relaxation behavior. Complex modulus analysis confirmed the presence of non-Debye relaxations. These results contribute to a thorough comprehension of the structural and electrical characteristics of Sr2GdTi2Nb3O15, opening avenues for potential applications in diverse electronic devices.
