Abstract The samples Ni1+x−yZnyTix Fe2−2xO4; y=0.1, 0.0≤x≤0.5 were prepared in a single-phase spinel structure as indicated from X-ray analysis. Electrical conductivity and dielectric measurements at different temperatures from 300 K to 600 K in the frequency range from 42 Hz to 5 MHz have been analyzed. The relation of conductivity with temperature revealed a semiconductor to semimetallic behavior as Ti4+ concentration increases. The conduction mechanism depends mainly on the valence exchange between the different metal ions in the same site or in different sites. The dielectric constant as a function of temperature and frequency showed that there is a strong dependence on the compositional parameter x. The electrical modulus has been employed to study the relaxation dynamics of charge carriers. The result indicates the presence of correlation between motions of mobile ion charges. The activation energies extracted from M′(ω) and M″(ω) peaks are found to follow the Arrhenius law. The electrical conductance of the samples found to be dependent on the temperature and frequency.
