Abstract: This study investigates the impact of calcium substitution on the structural, magnetic, and electrical conductivity properties of barium and strontium hexaferrites. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms that all samples retain a hexagonal crystal structure P63/mmc, with calcium incorporation maintaining lattice symmetry. The results align with the Aharoni model, showing an enhanced magnetic saturation and high transition temperature, making the material suitable for high-temperature electronic devices and applications requiring strong permanent magnets. Electrical conductivity measurements indicate semiconductor behavior consistent with Jonscher“s power law, with conduction mechanisms identified as Non-Overlapping Small Polaron Tunneling and Correlated Barrier Hopping. The activation energy for conduction in the high-temperature range was determined via the Small Polaron Hopping model, while lower-temperature conductivity was explained by Mott and Shklovskii-Efros Variable Range Hopping models. The Ghosh scaling model further confirmed that conductivity is influenced by Coulomb interactions between carriers.
