For the preparation of A and B series composition was same such as (i) Zn – 100%, (ii) Zn- 78.4%, Co-21.6%, (iii) Zn – 59.5%, Co -40.5%, (iv) Zn-38.45%, Co-61.55%, (v) Zn-18.05%, Co-81.95%, (vi) Co- 100%). The difference only for A series heated in air atmosphere at 600 0 C for two hours and B series in nitrogen atmosphere at 600 0 C for two hours. The characterization of both series was carried out using SEM for surface morphology, EDS for elemental analysis, XRD (X-ray diffraction) study for structure determination and thermal analysis using TGA, DTA. The electrical conductivity of the both series was studied XRD SEM TGA DTA EDS Electrical conductivity Full Text Additional Declarations No competing interests reported.
