Abstract

Cubic oxide pyrochlores, Ln2Mo2O7, Ln=Sm---Yb,Y, (Nd1-xAx), A=Er and Yb; 0 < x < 1.0, have been synthesized and electrical properties were examined in the range 77-600K. Semiconductor behavior is observed for Ln=Eu---Yb, Y but the resistivity and Ea are low. Sm2Mo2O7 and Nd1-xYbxMo2O7 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) exhibit semimetallic or metallic behavior. The mechanism of conduction in these compounds is explained on the basis of band model proposed by Sleight et al.
