Resistivity and Dielectric Measurements of Pb(Mn0.5 W0.5)O3 Ceramics with Guard Ring Electrode

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polycrystalline Pb(Mn0.5W0.5)O3, PMW, a ferroelectric oxide was prepared by high temperature solid state reaction route. In order to reduce the measurement error caused by edge capacitance, laboratory-made three-terminal ring electrode (including a guard terminal) was constructed. A guard ring electrode eliminated parallel resistance paths that could cause errors in materials resistance measurements. Guard ring electrodes were useful devices which enable accurate dielectric measurements to be made on small sample of insulating material. The dielectric constant (ε′) and loss tangent (tan δ) of PMW ceramics were measured as a function of frequency ( 1 kHz- 100 kHz ). The volume resistivity and surface resistivity of PMW ceramics were also investigated. The smallest value of volume and surface resistivity were found to be 1.6 × 10-4 MΩ and 0.1281 MΩ, respectively.
