Abstract

The effect of frequency and temperature on the permittivity and transport properties of calcium manganese was investigated. The sample was synthesized using a simple, an economic and a reproducible complex polymerizable route. Thereafter, it was characterized by the X-ray diffraction and complex impedance spectroscopy techniques. The obtained results showed that CaMnO3–δ exhibits a semiconducting behaviour between room temperature and 400°C. Beyond that temperature, the perovskite behaves as a metal. As for the activation energy, it showed a change around 400°C, which is attributed to the first-order transition from semiconducting to the metallic behaviour. Moreover, the dielectric constant and the loss exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing frequency, which is a characteristic of polar dielectrics. Between 25 and 400°C, the maximum barrier height increased from 0.1 to 0.32 eV. The low dissipation factor at high frequencies seems to be an interesting feature highlighting the promising use of CaMnO3–δ in high-frequency microwave device applications.
