Abstract

We present an investigation of the influence of four dopant lithium concentrations on the electrical properties of CuO. X-ray measurements have revealed a single phase formed up to 4.2 at. % of Li, and a second phase formed, Li2CuO2, in the case of 10.5 at. % of Li concentration. The log(ρ/T) vs 1/T data are better represented by two straight lines than by one and show an initial strong decrease of the conduction activation energies for small contents of Li (<1.7 at. %), which becomes weak for larger contents. The change in slope observed in the resistivity measurements as a function of temperature has also been investigated by calorimetric measurements, revealing a specific heat anomaly which can be associated with the antiferromagnetic order transition.
