Abstract

In this paper, Sr2–xCaxNiWO6 (x = 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were synthesized using a solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, optical and dielectric properties of the compounds were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive (EDX) analysis, Ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy respectively. The Rietveld refinement of XRD confirmed that the compounds crystallized in a tetragonal structure with a space group I4/m. According to the SEM images, the grain sizes of the compounds decreased as the dopant increased. The UV–vis analysis revealed that the band gap energy of the compounds decreased from 3.17 eV to 3.13 eV as the amount of doping increased from x = 0.00 to x = 0.06. A dielectric characterization showed that the dielectric constant (ε′) and dielectric loss (tan δ) for all compounds possessed a similar trend where it was higher in low-frequency area (~ 1 Hz) and dropped instantaneously with the enhancement of frequency up to 1 MHz until it reached constant values.
