Abstract

Polycrystalline samples of A1–xA'xNbO3 (A=Na+, K+; A'= La3+, Sr2+) were prepared by solid-state reactions and the relationship between the structure and electrical properties was examined. Single-phase products were obtained for Na1–xLaxNbO3 (x ≤0.1), K1–xLaxNbO3 (x ≤0.15), Na1–xSrxNbO3 (x ≤0.3), and K1–xSrxNbO3 (x ≤0.5). The structures of the sodium-containing compounds and potassium-containing compounds were indexed according to a pseudocubic and cubic symmetry, respectively. The resistivity measurements showed semiconductive behavior for the lanthanum-containing samples. The strontium-containing samples showed semiconducting properties for x ≤0.2, while a transition to metallic conduction at low temperature was observed for x >0.2.
