    BaTiO3 and Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3 ceramics were investigated regarding their dielectric and microstructure properties via conventional solid state reaction method. The phase pure samples were obtained when heated at 1400°C for overnight. The effect of Er3+ doped into BaTiO3 on dielectric properties and microstructural properties was investigated for composition of BaTiO3 and Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3.

The XRD patterns of BaTiO3 and Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3 are phase pure and identical with tetragonal perovskite structure with space group of P4mm. The lattice parameters and unit cell volume of BaTiO3 increased by doping with Erbium as the crystallite size decreased. Measurements of dielectric properties were carried out as a function of temperature up to 200°C at different frequencies. Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3 exhibit the high value of dielectric constant (ε=6179) at Curie temperature (TC) of 120°C. SEM analysis of BaTiO3 and Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3 ceramics showed that the grain sizes of BaTiO3 and Ba0.9925Er0.0075TiO3 were ranged from 3.3µm-7.8µm and 2.2µm-4.7µm respectively.

    In this paper, we present the investigation of the impact of cation ordering on the structural, electrical, and electronic properties of a cubic spinel LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄. Rietveld refinement using X-ray diffraction (XRD) data reveals that LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ annealed at 700 °C adopts a well-ordered atomic arrangement in cubic spinel (SG = P4332). Then, it is transformed to a disordered cubic spinel (SG = Fd-3m) at higher temperatures (> 800 °C). Impedance spectroscopy is employed to evaluate the dielectric and electrical properties in the temperature range of 0 to 25oC within the frequency range between 10 Hz and 100 kHz. The Cole-Cole plot indicates that grain boundaries contribute significantly to electrical conductivity and that bulk resistance decreases with increasing temperature. The AC conductivity analysis shows that the electrical conductivity of well-ordered and disordered cubic spinel LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ exhibits thermal activation and obeys Jonscher's universal power law. Furthermore, the electronic properties of cubic spinel LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ with the space groups of Fd-3m and P4332 are investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) plane-wave method. The electronic analysis of the cubic spinel LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ (SG = Fd-3m) indicates stronger bonding between oxygen and transition metal elements compared to the LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ (SG = P4332) structure. Therefore, LiNi₀.₅Mn₁.₅O₄ with the Fd-3m space group exhibits high structural stability, making it a favourable cathode material for high-voltage rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

    Ba0.9995La0.0005TiO3 ceramics prepared via solid-state reaction route was found to be phase pure at the final sintering temperature of 1300°C for 16 hours. The dielectric constant was varied from 1900 to 2800 from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful technique to study the complexities of ceramic materials such as homogeneity and inhomogeneity of materials that being process during production of most electronic materials. An electronic ceramic component can be visualized as a grain, grain boundary and electrode system. Impedance spectroscopy is being widely used to separate out contribution of the bulk and the grain boundary to the overall equivalent circuit models. Fixed frequency plots of dielectric constant versus temperature for Ba0.9995La0.0005TiO3 ceramics shows typical perovskite response with Curie temperature, Tc about 115 °C and fit with the equivalent circuit which contributed by bulk and grain boundary response.

    Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1−xSnxO3 material with varying Sn concentrations (x = 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.10) was synthesized using the conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that as the Sn concentration increases from x = 0 to x = 0.10, the Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1−xSnxO3 undergoes a structural phase change from tetragonal to cubic. Dielectric analysis of Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1−xSnxO3 shows a significant drop in Tc, from 65 to 5°C, caused by the replacement of Sn4+ ions with larger ionic radii compared to Ti4+ ions at the B-sites. The composition with x = 0 exhibits the largest dielectric constant due to its enormous spontaneous dipole moments. Conversely, the substitution of Sn in Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1−xSnxO3 reveals a decrease in the dielectric constant at the B-site structure of perovskite, resulting in a reduced tolerance factor and a decrease in the tetragonality of the sample. However, the pinching effect significantly enhances the dielectric constant of the sample with x = 0.10. Grain size measurements for x = 0 demonstrate a well-distributed grain structure. Additionally, the undoped sample exhibits a higher piezoelectric constant than the Ba0.8Sr0.2Ti1−xSnxO3 samples. According to the piezoelectric constant data, the composition with a tetragonal structure appears to have a greater piezoelectric constant than the cubic structure.
