The conductivity measurements on polycrystalline samples have been obtained
by ac techniques and the ionic transference number has been calculated by
charge/discharge d.c, technique. In the LiCr1-xAlxTiO4 (0 less than or equa
l to x less than or equal to 0.4) spinel systems, at low x, the solid solut
ions are predominantly electronic conductors but on increasing x, the level
of electronic conductivity decreases giving rise to materials that are mix
ed conductors. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
