摘要
In this communication, we report the results of the studies on electrical properties of cost-effective modified sol-gel-grown nanostructured Gd0.95Ca0.05MnO3 (GCMO) manganites sintered at different temperatures. Structural investigations, carried out using X-ray diffraction measurements, reveal the single-phasic nature of GCMO samples having orthorhombic unit cell structure. Frequency-dependent variation in AC conductivity (sigma(AC)) has been discussed on the basis of correlated barrier hopping (CBH) mechanism for the GCMO samples sintered at lower temperatures. Sintering temperature-induced transition from CBH mechanism to Maxwell-Wagner relaxation processes has been discussed in detail. Size-induced modifications in the impedance response of the samples have been understood, in detail, using size effects and Cole-Cole plots.
