The polycrystalline sample of complex tungsten-bronze compound Li 2 Pb 2 Sm 2 W 2 Ti 4 Ta 4 O 30 was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. Room temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) study suggests the formation of a single-phase compound. Microstructure of the pellet sample was studied by scanning electron microscope. The temperature variation of dielectric constant shows dielectric anomaly in the sample. Study of electrical properties (impedance, conductivity, etc.,) of the material exhibits a strong correlation between its micro-structure (i.e., bulk, grain boundary, etc) and electrical parameters. A typical Arrhenius behavior was observed in the temperature dependence of dc conductivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
