Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

The amphoteric dopant effects on dielectric and structural properties of KNN were studied. The trace amounts of dopant were incorporated into the KNN lattice and formed the orthorhombic perovskite structure. The distribution of yttrium dopant on the perovskite lattice is responsible for enhancement of dielectric behaviors of KNN films. The dielectr
