Investigation of Electrical Transport Property in Spinel NiCr2O4.

In the present work, we have discussed the electrical transport properties of the polycrystalline NiCr2O4 by employing Impedance spectroscopy and DC resistivity techniques. It was observed that charge carriers follow Arrhenius type conduction throughout the temperature range. Activation energy (Ea) has been calculated from the impedance data, 0.462 for Rgb and 0.42 from Rg, which is well buttressed by the activation energy from the DC resistivity fitted data which is 0.468 eV.
