Abstract
In the current communication, structural, microstructural, dielectric, relaxor, impedance, AC conductivity, and electrical modulus characteristics of double perovskite Gd2NiMnO6 (synthesized by a solid state reaction route) as a function of temperature (25–125 °C) and frequency (1 kHz–1MHz) have mainly been reported. From preliminary X-ray structural analysis, it is found that the crystal structure of the material is monoclinic. In temperature dependence of dielectric constant analysis, relaxor behaviour of the material was observed. Such type of behaviour is described by modified Curie–Weiss law and a Vogel–Fulcher law. From Nyquist plots, the existence of grain and grain boundary effect in the material is observed. The non–Debye type of relaxation is confirmed from the complex impedance spectroscopy. From the impedance data, the determined grain resistance reduces with increment of temperature showing negative temperature co-efficient of resistance (NTCR)-type nature of the material which also confirmed from conductivity analysis. Again, non-Debye type of relaxation phenomena is observed from the analysis of modulus spectroscopy which is also proved by complex impedance plot. From these result it may be concluded that this material may be used for different high temperature applications.
