Abstract

Dielectric permeability and electrical conductivity of FeGa_0.8In_1.2Se₄ crystal at different frequencies and temperatures were studied. It was determined that the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric permittivity were subjected to a significant degree of dispersion, which has the character of relaxation. In this crystal, the regularity σ ~ f^S (0.1≤ S ≤ 1.0) is satisfied for electrical conductivity in the temperature range 295 ÷ 358 K and the frequency range 2·10⁴ ÷ 10⁶ Hz and it is assumed that there is a hopping conduction mechanism. The activation energy of charge carriers for the FeGa_0.8In_1.2Se₄ crystal was determined.
