Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The electrical conductivity of KMgFe(MoO4)3 crystals has been determined in the temperature range 296–828 K using impedance spectroscopy (5 to 5 × 105 Hz). The potassium magnesium iron molybdate was prepared by solid-state reaction between MgMoO4 and KFe(MoO4)2 at 900 ± 25 K over a period of 200 h. The ionic conductivity of KMgFe(MoO4)3 ceramic samples is σ = 3 × 10−4 S/cm at 573 K and the activation enthalpy for ionic transport is E a = 0.53 ± 0.03 eV. After heating in vacuum, electrical measurements indicated electronic conduction, which shunted the original impedance of the samples.
