Abstract
The modulus and impedance spectroscopy studies on barium strontium lanthanum bismuth niobate (Ba 0.1Sr 0.81La 0.06Bi 2Nb 2O 9, BSLBN) were investigated in the frequency range, 45 Hz–5 MHz and in the temperature duration from room temperature (rt) to 570 °C. The dielectric anomaly with a broad peak was observed at 485 °C. Simultaneous substitution of Ba 2+ and La 3+ increases the transition temperature of SrBi 2Nb 2O 9 (SBN) from 392 to 485 °C. XRD studies in BSLBN revealed an orthorhombic structure with lattice parameters a = 5.5023 Ǻ, b/ a = 1.000 and c = 25.0697 Ǻ. Impedance and modulus plots were used as tools to analyze the sample behavior as a function of frequency. Cole–Cole plots showed non-Debye relaxation. DC and AC conductivity measurements were performed on BSLBN. The electric modulus which describes the dielectric relaxation behavior is fitted to the Kohlrausch exponential function. Near the phase transition temperature, a stretched exponential parameter β indicating the degree of distribution of the relaxation time has a small value.
