  • Abstract
    The measurements of the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient, and the saturation magnetization were performed on polycrystals Cu0.5Fe2.5O4+γWith all samples the anomalous behavior above 400°C was observed which manifested itself by a sudden increase of electrical resistivity, by the change from n- to p- type of electrical conductivity, and by the irreversible course of the magnetization. Contrary to physical properties, the chemical analysis revealed no significant changes in the composition of ferrites during the transformation. Taking into account the electrical, magnetic, and X-ray investigation it was concluded that in quenched samples (Cu1++ Fe3+) and Cu2++ Fe2+) pairs are more stable in the tetrahedral and the octahedral sites of the spinel lattice, respectively. After the transformation only Cu1+and Fe3+are present in the ferrites which initiates their decomposition into haematite and delafossite.
