Spectroscopic approach to understanding complex impedance in sodium silicate by Md Ayub Sheikh, Sudhangshu Chakraborty

“…The findings reveal a non-Debye relaxation behavior, deviating from ideal relaxation models typically observed in such materials. Both dielectric relaxation and dispersion effects contribute to the polaron-controlled hopping mechanism evident in the CIS data.The Nyquist plot exhibits a single semicircular arc, indicating that grain boundary polarization is the dominant factor affecting the impedance of sodium silicate. …”
