Abstract
The dispersion of potassium niobate (KNbO3) ceramics is analysed using the multiple-arc approach. This has revealed a high frequency arc that is unattainable by the Cole–Cole single arc analysis. The temperature dependence of the new arc is derived through the spread parameter of the relaxation distribution and interpreted in terms of the ferroelectric property of the KNbO3 ceramics. It is shown that the overall dispersion behaviour of the ceramics is mainly due to the existence of two distinctly different polarisation mechanisms. The arc approach has also provided an effective tool for network simulation of dispersion whereby the ceramics are modelled by nine parallel R–C branches over the frequency range 102–105 Hz used.
