In this research, we investigate the structural, electrical, and dielectric properties of the LiNbO3 compound. Our sample was elaborated using two methods: solid–solid (sample S1) and sol–gel (sample S2). X-ray diffraction analysis with Rietveld refinement confirmed that both samples are single-phas...
