Abstract

Sb-modified alkali bismuth titanate Li0.5Bi0.5− x Sb x TiO3 (x = 0 and 0.1) compounds are prepared using the method of solid-state-reaction route. The XRD exploration in environmental conditions confirms the development of new compounds having single-phase orthorhombic crystal structures. Non-uniformly distributed grains are noticed in SEM micrographs for both compounds. The electric & dielectric behavior is analyzed by use of an impedance analyzer. The exploration of the dielectric behaviors of both compounds in a wide frequency range (100 Hz–1 MHz) & temperature range (30–500 °C) suggests that these characteristics are strongly dependent on frequency & temperature. Activation energy assessed from temperature variation of ac-conductivity in various zones recommends that the electric transport phenomenon obeys the Arrhenius equation and shows a mixed type of conductivity.
