The d.c. electrical conductivity of sodium vanadate, potassium vanadate, lithium vanadate and their solid solutions sodium-potassium vanadate, sodium-lithium vanadate were measured by a two-probe method in the temperature range covering their transition points. These materials show sharp change in conductivity at their phase transition temperatures. In sodium, potassium and lithium vanadates an exponential increase in d.c. conductivity is observed in ferroelectric region while discontinuities are observed above the transition temperatures. The activation energy in paraelectric state of the solid solutions is found to be higher than in ferroelectric state. In solid solutions the activation energy depends upon sodium vanadate concentration.
