Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Electrical Properties of Bi1.5znsb1.5< Pyrochlore Ceramics(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2003) Kayed, TS; Mergen, ABi1.5ZnSb1.5O7 pyrochlore samples were prepared by solid state reaction method. They were examined by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Single phase, belongs to the cubic pyrochlore structure, with a lattice parameter of 10.442 Angstrom and grain size that varies from 16 to 20 mum was obtained. The electrical properties were measured at different temperatures in the range 15-330 K under different applied magnetic fields up 1.4 T. In our measurements for Hall coefficient, Hall resistivity, and mobility; we noticed an anomalous behavior at two temperatures (around 250 and 310 K) which was supported by the I-V measurements (double transition of the slope of I-V characteristics (beta) at the same temperatures). This was discussed in terms of polarization phenomenon and mixed ionic-electronic conduction. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

It was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Single phase, belonging to the cubic pyrochlore structure, with a lattice parameter of a = 10.60125 +/- 0.001 Angstrom and grain size that varies from 5 to 10 mum was obtained. The electrical properties were measured at different temperatures in the range 15-320 K without and with applied magnetic field of 1.4 T. Current-voltage characteristics data were fitted to a power law expression V=I-beta(T) in which the exponential parameter beta takes values around 1 at all temperatures except at 300 K. Resistance starts from 3.3 x 10(10) Omega at 15 K and increases gradually to 4.8 x 10(10) Omega at 240 K. It drops to approximately 1.2 x 10(10) Omega at 300 K, after which it increases again to around 1.6 x 10(10) Omega at 320 K. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
