Abstract
Sodium potassium niobate K0.5Na0.5NbO3(KNN) ceramic was synthesized by a solid-state technique. The X-ray diffraction of the sample at room temperature showed a monoclinic phase. The real part (ε′) and imaginary part (ε″) of dielectric permittivity of the sample were measured in a frequency range from 40 Hz to 1 MHz and in a temperature range from 350 to 850 K. The ε′ deviated from Curie–Weiss law above 702 K, due to additional dielectric contributions resulting from universal dielectric response and thermally activated space charges at high temperatures. This anomaly arose from a Debye dielectric dispersion that slowed down following an Arrhenius law. We have established a link between the dielectric relaxation and the conductivity.
