The present work is aimed for dielectric investigation of undoped and gadolinium-substituted Aurivillius-structure bismuth titanates Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) and Bi2.5Gd1.5Ti3O12 (BGT). The measurements were performed as a function of both frequency and temperature in the frequency range of 20 Hz – 1 MHz and in the temperature range of 30–1100 K. Obtained results can be divided into two parts: the low temperature part, where the glass like dispersion occurs, and the high temperature part, where high electrical conductivity dominates. The activation energies for the presumably oxygen vacancies migration-related conductivity is EA = 0.73 eV for Bi4Ti3O12 and EA = 0.98 eV for Bi2.5Gd1.5Ti3O12 [1].

Naujos Aurivilijaus struktūros multiferoinės medžiagos yra perspektyvūs junginiai. Aurivilijaus struktūrą turinčios medžiagos yra labai svarbios dėl plataus jų pritaikymo feroelektriniams, pjezoelekriniams, mikroelektromechniniams įtaisams. Viena iš tokių medžiagų yra Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT). Buvo pabandyta į BIT struktūrą įterpti magnetinių savybių turintį retųjų žemių metalą gadolinį (Gd). Šiame darbe publikuojami Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT) ir Bi4-xGdxTi3O12 (x = 1,5) (BGT) dielektriniai tyrimai.
Tyrimai atlikti dielektrinės spektroskopijos metodu 20 Hz – 1 MHz dažnių diapazone esant 30 K – 1 100 K temperatūrai. Žemų dažnių srityje, aukštoje temperatūroje, BGT ir BIT keramikose aiškiai matyti dominuojantys laidumo reiškiniai. Apskaičiuota aktyvacijos energija yra lygi EA = 0,73 eV (Bi4Ti3O12).
