Studies of the electrical and optical properties of sodium titanium tungstate ceramic for suitable electronic applications
摘要
Developing new electronic ceramics materials is encouraging for the persistently increasing demand in futuristic electronic products. Using a cost-effective solid-state reaction method, we have developed and characterized a novel complex system, namely sodium titanium tungstate. The preliminary structural analysis suggests the existence of multiphase in the new system. Williamson-Hall plot analysis indicates that the mean crystallite size is 95 nm, with a lattice strain of 4.1 × 10–4 in the developed system. The derived electrical parameters (from capacitive, resistive, and conductive measurements) were obtained in a working frequency of 1 kHz to 1 MHz with a variable temperature range from 298 to 753 K, establishing the Maxwell–Wagner dispersion phenomena of dielectric, relaxation, and transport mechanisms. The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is within the range of − 0.004 to − 0.028, and the thermistor constant (β) is found to be 4800 to 800 in a variable working temperature domain.
