Abstract
Layered $SrBi_{2}(Nb_{1-x}V_{x})_{2}O_{9-\delta}$(SBVN) ceramics with x lying in the range 0-0.3 (30 mol%) were fabricated by the conventional sintering technique. The microstructural studies confirmed the truncating effect of $V_{2}O_{5}$ on the abnormal platy growth of SBN grains. The electrical conductivity studies were centred in the 573-823 K as the Curie temperature ties in this range. The concentration of mobile charge carriers (n), the diffusion constant $(D_{O})$ and the mean free path (a) were calculated by using Rice and Roth formalism. The conductivity parameters such as ion-hopping rate $(\omega_{p})$ and the charge carrier concentration (K') term have been calculated using Almond and West formalism. The aforementioned microscopic parameters were found to be $V_{2}O_{5}$ content dependent on $SrBi_{2}(Nb_{1-x}V_{x})_{2}O_{9-\delta}$ ceramics.
