Abstract
DC, AC electrical resistivity ( $\rho_{\rm dc}$ and $\rho_{\rm ac}$ ( $\omega$ ) and dielectric properties ( $\varepsilon'$ and $\tan \delta$ ) were studied for Zn _0.8Co _0.2Fe ₂O ₄ ferrite samples prepared at sintering temperatures ( $T_{\rm s}$ ) in the range 1273 to 1473 K by the usual ceramic technique. The experimental results indicated that the DC and AC electrical resistivity, Curie temperature ( $T_{\rm c}$ ) and activation energies for electrical conduction ( $E_{\rm p}$ and $E_{\rm f}$ ) decrease as the sintering temperature increases. The DC electrical conductivity increases as the temperature increases. It was found that $\varepsilon'$ , $\tan \delta$ and $\rho'_{\rm ac}$ ( $\omega$ ) decrease as frequency increases.
