Abstract

Dielectric measurements were carried out in single crystals of KTiOPO4, KTiOAsO4, RbTiOAsO4 and CsTiOAsO4. All of the materials exhibit a clear dielectric relaxation process in the low temperature range and a conductance mechanism in the high temperature range. The dielectric relaxation process can be well described by the Debye dielectric model with an activation energies of 0.8 eV, 0.5 eV and 0.4 eV respectively. The relaxation process is associated with the deviation of the alkali ions from its ideal lattice positions. The high temperature conductance is associated with the motion of the alkali ions from one lattice site to another. Therefore, both the low temperature relaxation process and the high temperature conductance originate from different features of defect behavior of alkali ions in the cage structure of these materials.
