Abstract

Electrical conductivity behaviour and unit cell parameter variation have been investigated in the double substituted BIMEVOX system Bi2V0.9CoyCu0.1-yO5.35, 0<y<0.1 by a.c. impedance spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction. Variation of the unit cell volume indicates a microdomain structure for the material with Co rich and Cu rich regions. Both low and high temperature conductivities increase with increasing Co content. However, the overall conductivities appear to be lower than the two end members, BICOVOX and BICUVOX, which suggests that some type of defect trapping may be present in these double substituted systems.
