β¦ Synopsis
A systematic study of the effect of size of the dopant and vacancy concentration on the electrical conductivity of Na 2 SO 4 is reported. The enhancement of conductivity, most pronounced with trivalent cation doping, and maximized for 4 m/o Sm 2 (SO 4 ) 3 , is more than three orders of magnitude at 200°°C. The enhancement of conductivity depends on the extent of solid solubility, formation of intermediate compounds, and extent of vacancy-ion interaction. The size of the dopant influences the conductivity significantly. The effect of doping several cations simultaneously in Na 2 SO 4 is also investigated.

## Abstract Electrical conductivity has been measured at different temperatures for ZrO~2~ doped with various molar ratios of CuO. The conductivity increases due to migration of vacancies, created by doping. The conductivity was found to increase with increase in temperature till 220 Β°C and thereaf
