Structural and electrical properties of BaTiO3:yFeO3 composites at room temperature Manali N. Shah, Nima H. Patel, Devang D. Shah, P. K. Mehta Aip Conference Proceedings, 2020 The polycrystalline composite of BaTiO3 (BTO) and YFeO3 (YFO) has been prepared by solid state reaction method using high purity carbonates, oxides and ferrites. The structure of prepared samples has been analyzed by X ray diffraction which indicates that structure of BTO is a single phase tetragonal while structure of YFO doped material is orthorhombic and having the existence of doublet. The dielectric property has been investigated by impedance gain phase analyzer at room temperature which shows that at lower frequency the dielectric constant is maximum and reduces as move towards the higher frequency which shows the good property of any dielectric material. Similarly loss of the material is also minimum which directly supports the requirements of low loss energy storage device.
Electrical properties of SrTiO3-doped YFeO3ceramics Nima H. Patel, Manali Shah, Devang D. Shah, P. K. Mehta Aip Conference Proceedings, 2020 The samples of SrTiO3(STO) doped YFeO3(YFO) were prepared by solid-state reactions. The crystallographic structural analysis of the prepared samples has been studied. The phases of STO with cubic perovskite symmetry and YFO with tetragonal symmetry were formed. The intermediate samples have sustained the structural symmetry of YFO compound with expansion in the unit cell dimension. The effect of addition of STO on electric performance of YFO material has been investigated in this article. The complex permittivity usually becomes very high due to electrode polarization and carrier transport. Complex impedance, modulus studies indicated the presence of grains and grain boundary contribution, non-Debye type of relaxation of the doped ceramic samples.
