Abstract
This work analyses the dielectric and conducting properties of the PZN-modified BF solid solution (0.3PZN-0.7BF) synthesized at 850 °C by solid-state reaction. The Rietveld refinement of 0.3PZN-0.7BF solid solution displays three phases: tetragonal Pb(Fe0.5Nb0.5)O3 (76.68 %), α-BZN (21 %), and Bi2Fe4O9 (2.32 %). Dielectric parameter frequency dispersion implies normal ferroelectricity. Thermal relaxation shifts dielectric loss, imaginary impedance (Z''), and loss modulus (M'') peaks to higher frequencies. Electrical investigation indicates electrode polarization, dipole orientation, charge ordering, oxygen vacancies, and defects. Investigations suggest p-type polarons dominate conductivity. At room temperature and 1 MHz, the compound has 117 dielectric constant and 0.009 tangent loss. Conductivity and impedance testing show semi-conductivity. UV–Vis spectrum investigation shows a 1.97 eV energy band gap, supporting its semiconductor properties. Photovoltaic and optoelectronic device applications benefit from 0.3PZN-0.7BF solid solution optical and electrical property studies.
