Abstract

Polycrystalline Bi0.8Ba0.2FeO3 ceramic has been synthesized via conventional solid state reaction technique. The Rietveld refinement of x-ray powder diffraction revealed that the sample has a rhombohedral crystal structure (space group R3c). With increase in temperature, the values of dielectric constant (ϵ′) and dielectric loss (tan δ) are found to be increase at different frequencies which may be the result of increase in the number of charge carriers and their mobilities due to the thermal activation. Further the ac conductivity data is analyzed by using Jonscher’s universal power law. The values of frequency exponent ‘s’ lies in the range 0.2 ≤ s ≤ 0.7 and decreases with increase in temperature which can be explained on the basis of CBH (Correlated Barrier Height) model.
