Choudhary, crnpfl@phy.iitkgp.ernet.in Received 27 November 2007; Accepted 18 February 2008 Recommended by Stephen Danforth The polycrystalline sample of Ba V O was prepared by a high-temperature solid-state reaction technique. The effect of temper- 3 2 8 ature on impedance parameters was studied using an impedance analyzer in a wide frequency range (102–106 Hz). The real and imaginary parts of complex impedance trace semicircles in the complex plane. The temperature-dependent plots reveal the pres- ence of both bulk and grain boundary effects above 125◦C. The bulk resistance of the material decreases with rise in temperature. This exhibits a typical negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behavior of the material. The modulus analysis sug- gests a possible hopping mechanism for electrical transport processes of the material. The nature of variation of dc conductivity suggests the Arrhenius type of electrical conductivity. Copyright © 2008 Praveen Khatri et al.
