Synthesis, characterization and dielectric studies of cerium phospho iodate and cadmium doped cerium phospho iodate in nano form
121-126Nano particles of cerium phospho iodate (CPI) and cadmium doped cerium phospho iodate (Cd doped CPI) have been prepared by chemical co-precipitation method. The particle size and crystal structure of CPI and Cd doped CPI nano powder are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface morphology of the samples is studied from SEM images. The FTIR spectrum is used to study the stretching and bending frequencies of molecular groups in the sample. Temperature and frequency dependence of the dielectric constant and ac electrical conductivity are studied for 0.02 and 0.04 molarities of the dopant. The dielectric permittivities of nano sized samples are evaluated from the observed capacitance values in the frequency range 100 Hz-1 MHz and in the temperature range 50°-100°C. It has been found that with decreasing frequency, the dielectric constant increases much more obviously for the doped sample. As the temperature increases more and more dipoles are oriented resulting in an increase in the values of molecular dipole moment. Space charge polarization and rotational polarization play a crucial role in the dielectric behaviour of the nano sized material. From the permittivity studies, ac electrical conductivity is evaluated. The dielectric and ac electrical conductivity studies of the samples are made at different molarities of the dopant

the decrease in frequency and the increase in temperature. Moreover, the sample

Characterization, dielectric and optical studies of cerium molybdo tungstate nanoparticles
893-898Nanoparticles of
cerium molybdo tungstate (CMT) have been prepared by chemical co-precipitation
method. The average particle size is determined from X-ray diffraction studies.
The nanoparticle nature of the sample is verified using SEM, TEM and AFM
images. The surface morphology of the sample is studied from SEM image. The
FTIR spectrum has been used to study the stretching and bending frequencies of
molecular groups in the sample. Temperature and frequency dependence of the
dielectric constant and ac electrical
conductivity have been investigated. The dielectric permittivities of the
samples are evaluated from the observed capacitance values in the frequency
range 100 Hz-1 MHz and in the temperature range 50°-110°C. It has been found that with
increasing frequency, the dielectric constant decreases. The high value of
dielectric constant at low frequencies may mainly be due to the space charge
and rotational polarization. Also, the dielectric constant increases with
increase in temperature for fixed frequencies. As the temperature increases
more and more dipoles will be oriented resulting in an increase in molecular
dipole moment. The ac electrical
conductivity is evaluated from the permittivity studies. The absorption spectra
of the sample in the UV range are recorded. From the analysis of the absorption
spectra, the material is found to have a direct band gap of 3.2 eV

temperatures and frequencies and ac electrical conductivity is also calculated.
It is found that dielectric constant decreases with increase in frequency
