Abstract
Single phasic nanostructured YMnO3 manganites were successfully synthesized by employing acetate precursor based modified sol–gel technique followed by their sintering at different temperatures. Structural studies were carried out by performing X–ray diffraction (XRD) measurement and Rietveld analysis on raw data of XRD. Particle size and shape were studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) while size distribution was investigated by performing particle size analyzer. Nanostructured samples were studied for their electrical properties under low applied magnetic field of 1.2T. Frequency and magnetic field dependent dielectric behavior has been understood on the basis of boundaries between the particles and inverse Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya (DM) interaction. Nanostructured YMnO3 manganites exhibit positive magnetodielectric (MD) effect. Universal dielectric response (UDR) model and relaxation mechanism have been employed for dielectric behavior of the samples understudy. Role of particle morphology and magnetic disorder have been discussed for the understanding of impedance and negative magnetoimpedance (MI) of the samples. Frequency and magnetic field dependent variation in conductivity has been explained using boundary and magnetic disorders and free charge carriers in the samples. All nanostructured YMnO3 show positive Magnetoconductivity (MC) throughout the frequency and magnetic field range studied. Variation in voltage dependent hysteretic capacitance and estimated built–in potential have been discussed in the context of the role of defects, vacancies, disorder and free charge carriers in the samples sintered at different temperatures.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Solid State Chemistry offers critical reviews and specialized articles written by leading experts in the field, providing a comprehensive view of solid-state chemistry. It addresses the challenge of dispersed literature by offering up-to-date assessments of research progress and recent developments. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between physical properties and structural chemistry, particularly imperfections like vacancies and dislocations. The reviews published in Progress in Solid State Chemistry emphasize critical evaluation of the field, along with indications of current problems and future directions. Papers are not intended to be bibliographic in nature but rather to inform a broad range of readers in an inherently multidisciplinary field by providing expert treatises oriented both towards specialists in different areas of the solid state and towards nonspecialists. The authorship is international, and the subject matter will be of interest to chemists, materials scientists, physicists, metallurgists, crystallographers, ceramists, and engineers interested in the solid state.
