Description
Summary:The temperature- and field-dependent capacitive, resistive and conducting characteristics of nickel-modified binary electronic systems of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO 3 ) and barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) have been investigated using dielectric and impedance spectroscopy techniques. The orthorhombic crystal structures of the solid solution (Bi 1−2x Ni x Ba x )(Fe 1−2x Ti 0.2x )O 3 (with x  = 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25) have been identified from powder x-ray crystallography. The micrographs exhibit the development of dense samples with reduced grain size for higher percentage of Ni in the BiFeO 3 –BaTiO 3 . 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.
