Measurement and analysis of temperature dependent resistance of 𝑳�𝒊�𝒙�𝑪�𝒖�0.5𝒁�𝒏�𝟎�.𝟓�−𝟐�𝒙�𝑭�𝒆�𝟐�+𝒙�𝑶�4

Abstract

The DC electrical property of 𝑳𝒊𝒙𝑪𝒖0.5𝒁𝒏𝟎.𝟓−𝟐𝒙𝑭𝒆𝟐+𝒙𝑶4 (x=0.00, x=0.05, 0.10) samples prepared by solid state reaction method was investigated. The samples were calcined at 800℃ and sintered at 1000℃ and 1050℃ respectively in air for 5 hours. The samples were placed in an electric oven and the corresponding resistance and temperature measurement were taken using 2 probe method by keithley 2450 and 6517b respectively. The resistance was found to decrease as the value of x increased and also increasing temperature showed semiconductor behaviour of the samples
