Electrical properties of complex tungsten bronze ceramics

This paper highlights the electrical properties of two new complex tungsten bronze ceramics (K₂Pb₂Eu₂W₂Ti₄Nb₄O₃₀ and K₂Pb₂Pr₂W₂Ti₄Nb₄O₃₀) which were prepared by high temperature mixed oxide method. Variation of impedance parameters with temperature (27–500 °C) and frequency (1 kHz to 5 MHz) shows the grain and grain boundary effects in the samples. The variation of dielectric parameters with frequency is also studied. The ac conductivity variation with temperature clearly exhibits that the materials have thermally activated transport properties of Arrhenius type.     

Influence of calcium substitution on the phase transition and ionic conductivity in BICAVOX oxide ion conductor

Samples of Bi₄Ca _x V_{2? x} O_{11?(3 x /2)?δ} in the composition range 0.07 ≤ x ≤ 0.30 were prepared by conventional solid state reactions. The stability of different phases as a function of composition was analysed by X-ray powder diffraction, FT-IR spectra, differential thermal analysis and AC impedance spectroscopy. For the compositions x ≤ 0.10, monoclinic α-phase structure is retained at room temperature. For x = 0.13, orthorhombic β-phase is observed, whereas for x ≥ 0.17, high O^2?conducting tetragonal γ-phase is stabilised. However, the highest ionic conductivity σ_300°C = 3.27 × 10^?4 S cm^?1 was observed for x = 0.17. This higher value of conductivity of the substituted compound as compared to the parent compound can be attributed to the increased oxygen ion vacancies generated as a result of cation doping. AC impedance spectroscopy reveals the fact that this ionic conductivity is mainly due to the grain contribution.     

Study on electrical conductivity and phase transition in singly doped BIPBVOX (Bi2V1−xPbxO5.5−x/2) solid electrolyte

Samples of bismuth lead vanadium oxide (BIPBVOX) (Bi₂V_1–xPb_xO_5.5–x/2) singly substituted system in the composition range 0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 were prepared by sol–gel synthesis route. Structural investigations were carried out by using a combination of differential thermal analysis (DTA) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDXA) of doped samples was carried out to predict the sample purity and doping concentration. Transitions, α?β, β?γ and γ′?γ were detected by XRD, DTA and variation in the Arrhenius plots of conductivity. The ionic conductivity was measured by AC impedance spectroscopy. The solid solutions with composition x ≤ 0.07 undergo α?β phase transition, at 329 °C and β?γ phase transition at 419 °C. The highly conducting γ′-phase was effectively stabilized at room temperature for compositions with x ≥ 0.17 whose thermal stability increases with Pb content. At 300 °C, the highest value of conductivity 6.234 × 10^?5 S cm^?1 was obtained for composition x = 0.15 and at 600 °C the highest value of conductivity 0.65 S cm^?1 is observed for x = 0.17. AC impedance plots reveal that the conductivity is mainly due to the grain contribution to oxide ion conductivity.     

Phase transition in tungsten–bronze Li2Pb2Nd2W2Ti4Nb4O30 ferroelectric

The polycrystalline sample of Li₂Pb₂Nd₂W₂Ti₄Nb₄O₃₀ was prepared by a solid-state reaction technique. Room temperature X-ray structural analysis confirms the formation of a single-phase compound. The morphology of the sintered sample recorded by scanning electron microscope exhibits a uniform grain distribution. Detailed studies of the nature of variation of dielectric constant, tangent loss, and polarization with temperature and frequency confirmed the existence of ferroelectricity in the material at room temperature. The temperature and frequency dependence of impedance parameters (impedance, modulus, etc.) of the material exhibits a strong correlation of its microstructure (i.e., bulk, grain boundary, etc.). Furthermore, the temperature dependence of DC conductivity shows a typical Arrhenius behavior of the material. The nature of variation of pyroelectric coefficient and current with temperature suggests that material has good pyroelectric properties useful for pyroelectric detector.

Single/Double Soft-Templates Involved Synthesis of Polyaniline Blends: Interfacial Polymerization and Characterization by AC Impedance Analysis

Polyaniline (PANI) blends with single and double soft-templates (polyvinylpyrrolidone – PVP and/or sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate – SDBS) were synthesized using interfacial polymerization. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral study confirmed blend formation. Polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PANI-PVP) blend had submicron aggregates of 50–150 nm nanoparticles while PANI-SDBS blend had extensively agglomerated large size flakes/grains. Polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (PANI-PVP-SDBS) blend had larger aggregates, besides significant number of smaller grains. Alternating current (AC) impedance analysis was performed to determine their electrical properties. At room temperature the AC conductivity of the blend materials was in the increasing order, PANI < PANI-PVP < PANI-SDBS < PANI-PVP-SDBS. But other parameters, like critical frequency and power law index s, exhibited a decreasing trend in the blend materials. With regard to frequency-dependence, all the materials showed constant AC conductivity at low frequencies, but at higher frequencies and at higher temperatures conductivity increased gradually. The obeyance of a universal power law and the range of s values (0.12 < s < 0.78) suggested a correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism for AC conductivity of all the materials. The trends in electrical properties that were characteristic of the role of single/double soft-templates were explained in terms of improved π-electron delocalization and hopping mechanism.     

Effects of springs on a pendulum electromechanical energy harvester

This paper studies a model of energy harvester that consists of an electromechanical pendulum system subjected to nonlinear springs. The output power is analyzed in terms of the intrinsic parameters of the device leading to optimal parameters for energy harvesting. It is found that in an appropriate range of the springs constant, the power attains higher values as compared to the case without springs. The dynamical behavior of the device shows transition to chaos.
