description

A lead-free solid solution Li0.08Na0.92NbO3 was prepared by a two-stage hot-pressing technology. The structure and morphology of Li0.08Na0.92NbO3 were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The studies of electric conductivity were performed depending on temperature and frequency of electric measuring field on heating and cooling processes. These measurements revealed that the a.c. conductivity changed with the frequency according to the formula: σ(ω)=σ dc +Aω n where n < 1. These results were discussed considering the conduction mechanism as a type of polaron hopping.
