Abstract

The Li2BaP2O7 compound has been obtained by the conventional solid-state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The title material crystallizes in the monoclinic system with C2/c space group. Electrical properties of the compound have been studied using complex impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range 200 Hz–5 MHz and temperature range 589–724 K. Temperature dependence of the DC conductivity and modulus was found to obey the Arrhenius law. The obtained values of activation energy are different which confirms that transport in the titled compound is not due to a simple hopping mechanism. AC conductivity measured follows the power-law dependence σ AC ∼ ω s typical for charge transport. Therefore, the experimental results are analyzed with various theoretical models. Temperature dependence of the power law exponent s strongly suggests that tunneling of large polarons is the dominant transport process.
