This study consists of comprehensive investigations on dielectric permittivity ( ε ′), electric moduli ( M ′, M ″), impedance ( Z ), and conductivity ( σ ac ) spectra over broad regions of frequency and temperature of lead zirconium silicate glass ceramics mixed with different concentrations of Fe 2 O 3 . The observed increase in dielectric permittivity with the content of Fe 2 O 3 is attributed to the increasing presence of iron ions in octahedral positions. Electric moduli plots with frequency ( ω ) and temperature ( T ) exhibit dipolar effects. These effects are quantitatively analyzed by Cole–Cole plots; the analysis indicates the distribution of relaxation times. Probable dipoles for these effects are identified and discussed. AC conductivity ( σ ac ) shows a rising trend with an increase in Fe 2 O 3 beyond 0.2 mol%, and this increase is attributed to the polaron exchange among Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions. The conduction mechanism is well explained using a polaron tunneling model in the middle‐frequency and high‐temperature regions.
