To measure the dielectric properties samples were sintered from 700-800 oC in the steps of 50 oC. The sample�s phase purity, crystallographic phase and crystallite size was measured by X-ray diffraction method (XRD). The pellets were analyzed in Scanning Electron Microscope for their surface morphology and grain shape. Dielectric properties were measured from 20 Hz to 3 MHz at room temperature. Samples sintered at 750 oC, showed highest value of AC conductivity which indicated that the material is suitable for use in sensors. However, minimum value of dielectric loss factor was obtained at 800 °C which makes it more suitable for antenna applications. © 2020 Chemical Society of Pakistan. All rights reserved. %Z cited By 0
