A systematic investigation of AC impedance studies of Mn doped Lithium ferrites with composition formula, LiFe5−xMnxO8 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) has been undertaken. The materials were prepared by sol–gel method. Complex impedance data measured in the frequency range 200 Hz to 1 MHz at different temperatures was analyzed systematically. It has been observed that the magnitudes of real (Z′) and imaginary (Z″) components of the impedance are found to decrease with increasing temperature. It is interesting to note that the relaxation time varies linearly with temperature. The Nyquist impedance plots of the present investigation clearly depicts the inherent phenomenon involved in conduction mechanism of Mn doped Lithium ferrites.
