Abstract

Polycrystalline ceramic samples of Bi4V2−xMexO11 (Me = Nb, Zr, Y and Cu and x = 0.0 and 0.02) have been synthesized by standard solid state reaction method using high purity oxides. The formation of the compounds have been analysed by X-ray diffraction method. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity as a function of frequency and temperature have been measured. The dielectric studies indicate that the material is highly lossy and hence its AC conductivity increases with the increase of temperature. The DC conductivity of material has been measured as a function of temperature from room temperature to 380 °C and its activation energy was calculated using the relation σ = σ 0exp (−E a/kT). The modulated differential scanning calorimetry has been used to investigate the effect of substitution on the heat capacity and heat flow of the compounds. The results are discussed in detail.
