In the present investigation 20GDC (Ce 0.8 Gd 0.2 O 2-δ ), nano powder was synthesized from the sol-gel method. The nano powders were sintered at 1400 o C for 2hours by converting into pellets. The density of sintered pellets measured from the Archimedes method was found to be around 96%. XRD of 20GDC powder and sintered pellets shown were in cubic fluorite structure. Morphology of 20GDC powder was sintered pellets by using SEM. Grain size was measured from the linear intercept method. Dielectric properties (AC conductivity, Dielectric constant and loss tangent) were measured for 20 GDC samples using Solatron Impedance analyzer with temperatures ranging from 300 o C to 800 o C and with a variation of frequency from 1 KHz to 1MHz.
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.
