Magnesium Oxide/Praseodymium Oxide (MgO/Pr 6 O 11) nanocomposite was prepared by sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the cubic structure. The morphology was studied using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy picture. The AC/DC conductivity and dielectric properties were investigated in the frequency range of 1-4 KHz and in the temperature range of 303-573 K. The results showed that the dielectric constant and the tangent loss were frequency and temperature dependent. The AC/DC conductivity at different temperatures indicated that the conductivity was thermally activated. The activation energy for AC/DC conductivity was calculated using Arrhenius plot.
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.
