Dielectric relaxation phenomenon and conductivity in lead-free ceramics
Abstract Relaxation phenomena and electric conductivity of (1-x) KNbO3-xK0.5Bi0.5TiO3 system where x = 0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 have been studied at high temperature. A relaxation behavior was observed in temperature range 400 K ≤ T ≤ 550 K for orthorhombic solid solutions at room temperature. The activation energy (Ea) of this phenomenon was range from 0.68 eV for x = 0–0.489 eV for x = 0.075 with τ0 = 10−13 s. The relaxation was attributed to hopping of oxygen vacancies for solid solutions x ≤ 0.075. Substitution by K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 does not affect the electrical conductivity of KNbO3 too much, while the mobility of species such as oxygen vacancies and oxygen ions allow the incre…
Thermodynamic studies of iron(III) complex of some new dihydroxamic acids model of rhodotorulic acid
Abstract The objective of this research is to elucidate the coordination chemistry and the structure of complexes formed with siderochelates organic ligands and the physico-chemical studies of iron(III) complexation. Three dihydroxamic acids synthesized ((LCyEt)2−, (LCyPr)2− and (LO)2−) mimicking a fungal siderophore, rhodotorulic acid. They were evaluated with iron(III) chelation by potentiometric and spectrophotometric titrations in 0.1 M KNO3. These measurements revealed the formation of dileptic and trileptic complexes in excess ligand conditions. The chemical model includes five species of [Fem(L)lHh](3m−2l+h)+ with general formula: [Fe(L)]+, [Fe(L)(OH)], [Fe(L)(OH)2]−, [Fe(L)2H] and […
