Popis: The effect of heat treatment on the temperature dependence of electrical conduction for a mixture of Fe 2 O 3 and BaCO 3 with 1:1 mole ratio has been studied between room temperature and 573 K. The results suggest protonic conduction at a relatively low temperature range, whereas small polaron jumping between Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ dominates at a relatively high temperature range. The electrical conduction at high fields exhibits a quadratic dependence of current on the applied potential which predicts the formation of space charge. The mobility and concentration of charge carriers are estimated and discussed for untreated and heat treated Fe 2 O 3 /BaCO 3 composites.
