Impedance Spectroscopy of Sm-Doped of BaBi₂Nb₂O₉ Aurivillius Ceramics.

ABSTRACT: This investigation focuses on the impact of Sm³⁺ dopants on BaBi₂Nb₂O₉ (BBN) ceramics. These ceramics were obtained using the traditional solid state reaction approach. Techniques like scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to explore the structure and morphology of the ceramics. The results showed that the chemical composition of the ceramic samples matched well with the initial ceramic powder stoichiometry. Increasing the amount of samarium resulted in a slight reduction in the average ceramic grain size. The ceramics exhibited a tetragonal structure categorized under the space group I4/mmm. The electrical properties were analyzed using complex impedance spectroscopy (SI) across various t
