Abstract
In this study, the dielectric and electrical properties of RE3+ substituted (1-x)2/3Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-1/3PbTiO3:xCoFe1.97RE0.03O4 (RE = La3+ and Eu3+) particulate composites (with x = 10, 15, 20, and 30 mol %) synthesized via a solid-state approach have been presented. The temperature-dependent dielectric constant \({\varepsilon }^{^{\prime}}(T)\) displays a prominent peak around 180–190 0C, which drifts towards the high-temperature side with increasing frequency, consistent with the diffuse phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric. The high dielectric constant (\({\varepsilon }^{^{\prime}}\)) value and additional peak at the higher temperature side are more prominent in CoFe1.97Eu0.03O4 (CFEO) than CoFe1.97La0.03O4 (CFLO) based composites because of the high conductivity of CFEO than CFLO. It is also seen that CFLO-based composite has much lower loss than CFEO-based composite owing to the lower conductivity of CFLO. The magnitude of dielectric loss (tan δ) increases with the temperature and concentration of ferrites, which might be due to the occurrence of thermally active carrier hopping conductions in low-resistive ferrites. The Jonscher’s double power law is used to analyse frequency-dependent AC conductivity. The temperature-dependent power exponents confirm that the conduction arises due to the transitional hopping of polarons. The complex impedance spectroscopy data modelled using equivalent electrical circuits show a single semicircle for both sets of composites, indicating that the conduction mechanism is only due to thermally active conducting grains.
