ABSTRACT The ceramic oxide Na2Pb2Gd2W2Ti4Ta4O30 (NPGWT) was synthesized by the solid solution route. The formation of compound was checked by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope study. It is observed from both the studies that the material is a single phase and highly dense. The preliminary temperature variation of the dielectric study reveals ferroelectric to paraelectric phase transition much above the room temperature. The polarization study of the material further confirms the presence of ferroelectricity in the studied compound. The transport property of the material was carried out by using the impedance spectroscopy technique. From both impedance and modulus analysis, it is confirmed that conduction mechanism in the material is due to the hopping motion of charge carrier. To strengthen the hopping motion of charge carrier in the material frequency dependence, ac conductivity is carried out.
