Correlation between the ionic conductivity and the relaxation mechanisms during the 436 K- transition in nitrate salt RbNO3: analysis by impedance spectroscopy
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The measurements of the complex impedance Z*, the conductivity σ, the dielectric permittivity ε’r, and the complex modulus M* were carried out on the RbNO3 compound at frequencies ranging between 1 and 106 Hz. In fact, the conductivity follows the Arrhenius law in the different temperature ranges σT = σ0exp (-ΔEσ/kT). Actually, the resulting curve shows an anomaly between 425 and 436 K and a sudden increase in conductivity to 436 K causing σ to pass from 1.6x10-6 Ω-1.cm-1 to 9.3x10-5 Ω-1.cm-1. This behavior clearly confirms the ionic character of the phase transition at this temperature. The main objective of this research study is to show the correlation between the ionic conductivity and the relaxation mechanisms during this transition.
