Popis: A perovskite ceramic oxide, stannum (Sn) modified bismuth sodium titanate (BNT) (i.e., Bi0.5Na0.5Ti0.80Sn0.20O3) was synthesized by using a mixed oxide powder reaction route. Analysis of the X-Ray diffraction spectrum supports the polycrystalline nature of the compound with tetragonal symmetry. A phase change from the ferroelectric to paraelectric transition is observed at around 315 °C. The temperature and frequency dependence of dielectric properties and AC conductivity data of the material are analyzed. The Nyquist plots explain the effect of the grain and grain boundary contribution on the polarization process of the material. The analysis of complex modulus spectroscopy exhibits the non-Debye relaxation in the compound. The doping of stannum at the titanium-site of BNT enhances the dielectric characteristics of the material.
