Dielectric Properties of Bi 12 SiO 20 Crystals Doped by Cr and Mn Ions

Frequency-temperature characteristics of dielectric permittivity and loss factor of Bi 12 SiO 20 crystals doped by Cr and Mn ions have been carried out in audio frequency range in temperature interval 290 to 800 K. Dielectric anomalies of relaxation (Bi 12 SiO 20 :Cr) and resonance (Bi 12 SiO 20 :Mn) types and Cole-Cole dependences close to linear ones have been observed. The results are discussed on the basis of "screened hopping" model.
