Abstract

The real ac electrical conductivity σ′ ac has been studied for the ferrite system Co xNi 5 3 −x Sb 1 3 Fe 1O 4 as a function of frequency, temperature and composition. The experimental results indicate that σ′ ac increases with increasing frequency, temperature and Co ion content. σ′ ac becomes frequency independent at higher temperatures. The activation energies for electrical conduction and the Curie temperatures decrease with increasing Co ion content. The activation energy for electrical conduction in the ferrimagnetic region decreases as frequency increases. In the power law for ac electrical conductivity ( σ 2( ω) = Bω n ), the constant B increases, while the power n of the frequency decreases with increasing Co ion substitution and temperature. An empirical formula for the temperature dependence of n is suggested.
