Abstract
The samples of (Ba1−xSrx)2SnO4 with x = 0, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.80, 1.00 were synthesized by a high-temperature solid state ceramic route. Lattice parameters obtained from the Rietveld profile analysis; decreased with increasing Sr. The decreasing nature of lattice parameters indicated the complete solubility of Sr at Ba-site. Further, incorporation of Sr at Ba-site has been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The dielectric constant and dissipation factor increases with increasing Sr. Contribution of grain and grain boundary were resolved by complex modulus spectroscopy analysis. AC conductivity spectra of the entire sample follow Universal Jonscher's power law. The similar value of activation energy obtained from relaxation frequency and dc conductivity implies that the origin of conduction and relaxation mechanisms remains the same throughout the samples. The modulus and conductivity spectra of solid solutions nicely follow the time-temperature superposition (TTSP) principle. Further, conductivity spectra of solid solutions were studied by Ghosh and Summerfield scaling.
