Exploring dielectric and AC conduction characteristics in elemental selenium glass modified with silver halides.

In this research work, we have examined the influence of silver halide doping on the dielectric dispersion and AC conduction of elemental selenium. The in-depth investigation shows that when the dopant silver halides are incorporated, there are noticeable changes in the parent selenium's dielectric constant ('), dielectric loss (''), and AC conductivity ( ). When we frame the discussion of the obtained results with the relevant transport models, we found that in pure selenium and Se(AgI), conduction is primarily due to polaron hopping and follows the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model.

Preparation, phase stability, and magnetization behavior of high entropy hexaferrites.

The polycrystalline SrFeO samples deeply substituted up to at.67% by Al, Ga, In, Co, and Cr cations with a high configurational mixing entropy were prepared by solid-phase synthesis. Phase purity and unit cell parameters were obtained from XRD and analyzed versus the average ionic radius of the iron sublattice.
