Dielectric constant (K), loss (tan δ), and conductivity (σ) of single crystals of Al2O3, Al2O3: Cr (0.03 and 2 mol%) and Al2O3:V (2 mol%) have been measured as a function of frequency in the range 102to 107Hz and at temperatures between 30 and 450 °C, (where the electric field is always perpendicular to the optic axis). TheKvalue of Al2O3, at 30 °C is 9.4 and frequency‐independent. Doping by chromium or vanadium produces no detectable change in theKvalue of Al2O3. The dielectric loss of all these samples at 30 °C is below detection level (tan δ < 0.0005) throughout this frequency region. In these crystals, the dielectric constant increases with temperature exhibiting a frequency dependence from about 200 °C; the changes inKwith temperature being larger at lower frequencies (similar behaviour is exhibited by the dielectric loss). This behaviour ofKis attributed to space charge polarisation due to crystal defects. The plots of log σ vs. 1/Tat different frequencies for these crystals do not coincide indicating the conduction in this temperature region is due to impurities. The activation energies for conduction — in the high temperature region — are calculated to be 0.77, 0.69, 0.64, and 0.62 eV respectively for the above mentioned solids. The lower activation energy values for conduction in doped crystals may be attributed to a larger charge carrier concentration in them (compared to Al2O3).
