Abstract

Polycrystalline perovskite structured (Li[Formula: see text] (Na[Formula: see text] K[Formula: see text])[Formula: see text] (Nb[Formula: see text]Ta[Formula: see text] Sb[Formula: see text] O3 ceramics with [Formula: see text], 0.005 and 0.01 mole excess Na concentration were prepared by solid state sintering method. The present study relates the role of excess Na addition with the stoichiometry, density, structure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the samples. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibits single phase orthorhombic structure. The characteristic Raman modes were observed due to translational modes of cations and vibrational modes of NbO6 octahedra and no structural phase transition were observed. This confirms the formation of single phase perovskite structure and is consistent with XRD results. The dielectric permittivity increases about two times, while dielectric loss decreases by four times for [Formula: see text] composition. The electrical measurements carried by Complex Impedance spectroscopic analysis suggest negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior.
