Abstract

The Ac electrical conductivity and the dielectric relaxation properties of the [(C3H7)4N]2Cd2Cl6 polycrystalline sample have been investigated by means of impedance spectroscopy measurements over a wide range of frequencies and temperatures, 209 Hz–5 MHz and 361–418 K, respectively. The purpose is to make a difference between the electrical and dielectric properties of the polycrystalline sample and single crystal. Besides, a detailed analysis of the impedance spectrum suggests that the electrical properties of the material are strongly temperature-dependent. Plots of (Z" versus Z') are well fitted to an equivalent circuit model consisting of a series combination of grains and grains boundary elements. Moreover, the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity in the different phases follows the Arrhenius law and the frequency dependence of σ (ω) follows the Jonscher’s universal dynamic law. Furthermore, the modulus plots can be characterized by full width at half height or in terms of a nonexperiential decay function φ(t) = exp(t/t)β. Finally, the imaginary part of the permittivity constant is analyzed with the Cole–Cole formalism.
