We have investigated the complex dielectric and impedance properties of magnetoelectric compound Fe2TiO5 (FTO) as a function of temperature (T) and frequency (f) to understand the grain (G) and grain boundary (Gb) contributions to its…

The fate of electric dipoles inside a Fermi sea is an old issue, yet poorly-explored. Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$TiO$_{3}$ hosts a robust but dilute ferroelectricity in a narrow ($0.002<x<0.02$) window of substitution. This insulator becomes metallic…

We report a detailed study of the magnetic, transport, and thermodynamic properties of Ce$_2$Te$_5$ single crystals, a layered $f$-electron van der Waals magnet. Four consecutive transitions at $\sim$ 5.2, 2.1, 0.9, and 0.4 K were observed…

The dielectric spectrum of liquid water, $10^{4} - 10^{11}$ Hz, is interpreted in terms of diffusion of charges, formed as a result of self-ionization of H$_{2}$O molecules. This approach explains the Debye relaxation and the dc…

We electron-dope single crystal samples of SrTiO_3 by exposing them to Ar^+ irradiation and observe carrier mobility similar in its magnitude and temperature dependence to the carrier mobility in other electron-doped SrTiO3 systems. We find…

Ferroelectric metals, characterized by the coexistence of ferroelectricity and metallic conductivity, present a fundamental challenge due to the screening effect of free charge carriers on the long-range electric dipole order. Existing…

We show results of broadband dielectric measurements on the charge ordered, proposed to be mul- tiferroic material LuFe2O4. The temperature and frequency dependence of the complex permittivity as investigated for temperatures above and…

The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and the electrical conductivity of the transparent glasses in the composition Li2O-3B2O3 (LBO) were investigated in the 100 Hz- 10 MHz frequency range. The dielectric…

Dielectric study over a broadband was carried out from 10 to 70 K on ceramic Gd1-xYxMnO3 (x= 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4). For all the compositions, a prominent sharp peak about ~18K was observed in the temperature dependence of both {\epsilon}'(T)…

Recently, materials exhibiting colossal dielectric constant ($CDC$) have attracted significant attention because of their high dielectric constant and potential applications in electronic devices, such as high dielectric capacitors,…

High-mobility layered semiconductors have the potential to enable the next-generation electronics and computing. This paper demonstrates that the ultrahigh electron mobility observed in the layered semiconductor Bi$_2$O$_2$Se originates…

Many transition-metal oxides show very large ("colossal") magnitudes of the dielectric constant and thus have immense potential for applications in modern microelectronics and for the development of new capacitance-based energy-storage…

In the present work the authors report results of broadband dielectric spectroscopy on various samples of CaCu3Ti4O12, including so far only rarely investigated single crystalline material. The measurements extend up to 1.3 GHz, covering…

Evidence from first-principles calculations indicates that excess electrons in BiFeO$_3$ form small polarons with energy levels deep inside the electronic band gap. Hence, $n$-type electronic transport could occur by hopping of small…

The search for new materials with extremely high ("colossal") dielectric constants, required for future electronics, is one of the most active fields of modern materials science. However, the applicability of the colossal-epsilon'…

Broad-band dielectric spectroscopy, heat capacity measurements and molecular dynamic simulations are applied to study excitations of interacting electric dipoles spatially arranged in a network with an inter-dipole distance of 5-10 A. The…

The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant and the electrical conductivity of the transparent glasses in the composition 0.5Cs2O-0.5Li2O-3B2O3 (CLBO) were investigated in the 100 Hz - 10 MHz frequency range. The…

The ferroelectric trends of rutile (TiO$_2$) in bulk and at the (110) surface are investigated by means of ab initio density functional theory. We discuss the underlying mechanism of the incipient ferroelectric behavior of rutile in terms…

Electrical conductivity and high dielectric constant are in principle self-excluding, which makes the terms insulator and dielectric usually synonymous. This is certainly true when the electrical carriers are electrons, but not necessarily…

Dielectric spectra (10^4-10^11 Hz) of water and ice at 0 {\deg}C are considered in terms of proton conductivity and compared to each other. In this picture, the Debye relaxations, centered at 1/{\tau}_W ~ 20 GHz (in water) and 1/{\tau}_I ~…
