The dielectric relaxation of thick (∼50 μm) films of WO3 was investigated from 10 Hz to 1.8 GHz at a temperature of 200 °C. Three separate measurement techniques were employed: time-domain discharge voltage measurement, frequency-domain impedance measurement, and frequency-domain reflection coefficient measurement, with overlapping frequency ranges. Four distinct regions of dispersion were observed: below 100 Hz, the permittivity and loss tangent rise, implying a relaxation process; between 25 kHz and 1 MHz a second region of dispersion is observed with a loss peak at 80 kHz; from 1 to 300 MHz the dielectric response obeys the w−m power law of the Jonscher universal response with m=0.11; and above 500 MHz, another region of Debye-like loss is observed.
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.
