Abstract
SrNdCoO4 ceramics with tetragonal K2NiF4 structure were prepared by a solid-state reaction process. The frequency and temperature dependence of dielectric and conductive properties were studied. A peak was found at ∼325 °C on both dielectric constant (ɛ) and conductivity (σ) plots with temperature. After annealing in O2, the peak of ɛ disappeared while that of σ just shifted a little toward high temperature side. So, some oxide vacancies existed in the polycrystalline SrNdCoO4, which contributed much to ɛ but influenced σ only slightly in the measured temperature and frequency range. A lower resistivity of 3.7 Ωcm was obtained in SrNdCoO4 ceramics sintered at 1150 °C.
