A combined diffraction (XRD, electron and neutron) and dielectric study of Na3MoO3F3

Abstract

For the dielectric measurements, Na3MoO3F3 ceramics were cut and polished down to a disc with a thickness of 0.5 mm and a diameter of 4.79 mm. Gold electrodes were then sputtered onto both surfaces of the sample. Its polarisation hysteresis loop was characterised by a ferro- and piezo-electric measuring system (TA Analyser 2000, aixACT). The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and the dissipation factor of Na3MoO3F3 was investigated at 10KHz by a high precision LCR meter (3522, Hioki) between room temperature and 180oC using a scan rate of 5oC/min.
