Abstract: | Polycrystalline sample of LiCa2Nb5O15 was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. Structural and microstructural characterizations were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray studies reveal that the material has orthorhombic structure at room temperature. Electrical properties of the material have been studied using a complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) technique in a wide temperature (31–500 °C) and frequency (102–106 Hz) ranges. The complex impedance plots reveal the main contribution of bulk effects in it. The bulk resistance, evaluated from complex impedance spectrum, has been observed to decrease with rise in temperature showing a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior. Variation of dc conductivity (bulk) with temperature demonstrates that the compound exhibits Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity. |
