Abstract
A multiferroic material Pb(Ni1/3Mn1/3W1/3)O3 with ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties at room temperature is designed for multifunctional applications. A orthorhombic perovskite crystal structure has been assigned for the present perovskite according to the X-ray diffraction patterns. At 1 kHz, dielectric constant (ɛr) increases from 1655 at 298 K to its first maximum 3514 at 457 K referred as magnetic transition. The high values of ɛr in the low frequency range show better dispersion, and with the increase in frequency, a gradual decrease in the ɛr values was observed. The contribution of grain and/or electrode/interface effects in the resistive/capacitive properties was ascertained by the Nyquist plots. An equivalent circuit has been suggested consisting of resistive and capacitive components (R, C, Q) estimates the bulk (grain) and grain boundary resistance and capacitance. The activation energy was found to be greater than 0.2 eV, supporting the conduction mechanism due to hop** of charge carriers.
