Abstract
Polycrystalline samples AlFe0.95Cr0.05O3 synthetized by a solid state (SR) and a co-precipitation (cop) method show an orthorhombic system in space group Pc21n. It was found that, the cation distribution and magnetic ordering vary toughly on the synthesis conditions. We deployed impedance spectroscopy in studying the dielectric behavior of AlFe0.95Cr0.05O3. The significant results of this work are: for both samples, permittivity and dielectric loss are very sensitive to the temperature and frequency variation. The existence of supplementary imperfections and conducting species in AFCr5-s ceramics led to important dielectric permittivity in AFCr5-s. Values of the activation energy determined at low temperature point toward oxygen vacancies motion in slight range, however at high temperature, such a motion turns to long-range one. The dielectric response in case of AFCr5-s was assigned throw complex impedance plots to the grain as well as grain boundary. Conversely, additional individual pores similarly participate to dielectric belongings of AFCr5-cop.
