Impedance/Dielectric Spectroscopy of Nanoceramics

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Electronic Materials: Science and Technology ((EMST,volume 7))

Abstract

With proper attention to experimental design (i.e., electroding, cabling, stray apparatus imittances, etc.) impedance/dielectric spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study the electrical properties of nanoscale electroceramics. This study focuses on bulk non-ferroelectric materials (ZnO, CeO2, TiO2) and their frequency-dependent AC electrical properties, taken from a variety of literature sources. In particular, it is shown how to separate effective grain boundary and grain interior resistivities and also the effective capacitances associated with each region in the microstructure. This is possible even when Nyquist plots (-Z im vs. Z re ) without frequency markers are the only data supplied. A modified brick layer model (BLM) can be used to analyze the impedance/dielectric properties of nanoscale ceramics.
