Abstract
The electrical conductivity of Li-Ni ferrites was studied as a function of composition and of temperature. X-ray analysis and Seebeck coefficient studies were also carried out so that the conductivity of these mixed ferrites could be discussed. The dependence of the electrical conductivity of Li-Ni ferrites on composition is explained on the basis of the cation distribution. All the ferrites exhibit a transition near the Curie temperature with a change in slope of the conductivity (log( σT)) versus temperature ( 10 3 T ) curve. It is found that the activation energy in the paramagnetic region is higher than that in the ferrimagnetic region for all the ferrites.
