. The stoichiometric content of each sample has been realized using the energy dispersive x-ray technique. The relationship between micro-structural study and frequency–temperature-dependent electrical properties of the compound has revealed a negative temperature coefficient of resistance behavior. A non-Debye-type relaxation process is observed from the Niquist plot. The studied compound presents important dielectric properties for the formulation of electronic devices. |
