Abstract
Double perovskite oxide with general formula LaBa0.5Ag0.5FeMnO6 (LBAFMO) has been prepared by the sol–gel-based Pechini method. To study and compare its electrical properties, impedance spectroscopy was carried out in the temperature ranging from 200 K to 340 K and frequency range from 100 Hz to 1 MHz. At room temperature, x-ray diffraction analysis revealed the compound to be single phase and to crystallize in the cubic system in space group Pm-3m. The imaginary part of the impedance (Z″) as a function of frequency indicated non-Debye model relaxation. Impedance data in a Nyquist plot (Z″ versus Z′) was used to determine an equivalent circuit. The complex impedance of LBAFMO revealed the presence of grain and grain-boundary contributions. The alternating-current (AC) conductivity as a function of frequency was interpreted by applying Jonscher’s law to determine the activation energy. Modulus analysis revealed the occurrence of a relaxation process supplemented by a conduction phenomenon.
