Abstract

Electrical conductivity, I - V and DLTS have been measured on polycrystalline samples of $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ containing small deviation from stoichiometry and small amounts of added titanium. DLTS (Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy) in the current transient mode has been applied to the measurement of the trap density at the grain boundary. Titanium enters the $\alpha-Fe_{2}O_{3}$ lattice substitutionally as $Ti^{4+}$, thus producing an $Fe^{2+}$ and maintaining the average charge per cation at three. The $Fe^{2+}$acts as a donor center with respect to the surrounding $Fe^{3+}$ions.
