Abstract

The NaCrP2O7 compound was prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The formation of a single-phase material was confirmed by the X-ray diffraction studies and found to be a monoclinic system. The electrical properties of this compound have been measured in the temperature range from 523 to 673 K and the frequency range from 209 Hz to 5 MHz. The Nyquist plots are well fitted to an equivalent circuit consisting of a series of combination of grains and grain boundary elements. The ac conductivity of NaCrP2O7 has been analyzed as a function of temperature and frequency. The scaling behavior of the imaginary part of the complex modulus suggests that the relaxation describes the same mechanism at various temperatures. The conductivity and modulus formalisms provide nearly the same activation energies for electrical relaxation of mobile ions suggesting that the ion transport is probably due to a hopping mechanism dominated by the motion of the monovalent ions Na+ along tunnels presented in the structure of the investigated material.
