Abstract:

We report the sol-gel synthesis of pristine and Fe containing perovskite structured strontium stannate nanoparticles, stabilized by cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The X-ray diffraction data of pristine and Fe doped strontium stannate nanoparticles reveals the formation of orthorhombic phase with Pbnm space symmetry. Raman spectra of pristine and Fe doped SrSnO3 nanoparticles depicts peaks at 220, 256 and 561 corresponding to Sn-O-Sn, O-Sn-O and Sn-O band stretching, respectively. The dc resistivity of pristine and Fe doped SrSnO3 is found to decrease with increase in Fe content. The variation of impedance (Zʹ and Z′′) and electric modulus (Mʹ and M′′) of pristine and Fe doped strontium stannate nanoparticles as a function of frequency (20 Hz to 2 MHz) at different temperatures (310-410 K) has been studied.
