| Popis: | The complex perovskite oxide In(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (IMT) is synthesized by a solid state reaction technique. The X-ray diffraction of the sample at 30 °C shows a monoclinic phase. The dielectric properties of the sample are investigated in the temperature range from 143 to 373 K and in the frequency range from 580 Hz to 1 MHz using impedance spectroscopy. An analysis of the dielectric constant e′ and loss tangent (tan δ) with frequency is performed assuming a distribution of relaxation times. The Cole–Cole model is used to explain the relaxation mechanism in IMT. The scaling behavior of imaginary part of electric modulus (M″) shows that the relaxation describes the same mechanism at various temperatures. The electronic structure and hence the ground state properties of IMT is studied by X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The valence band XPS spectrum is compared with the electronic structure calculation. The electronic structure calculation indicates that the In-5s orbital introduces a significant density of states at the Fermi level, which is responsible for a high value of conductivity in IMT. |
