Abstract A study of ionic conductivity as a function of temperature has been carried out in NaCl and NaCl doped with 0.5 and 1.0 mol% samarium. The conductivity-temperature plot of NaCl exhibits a well-known three-stage conductivity in the temperature range 100 to 650° C. The knee separating intrinsic and extrinsic regions is at a temperature of about 525° C. The conductivity-temperature plots of samarium-doped NaCl exhibit three-stage extrinsic (II, III and IV) conductivity in the temperature range 100 to 525° C. The intrinsic region I, was not observed in these plots, as the conductivity measurements were taken up to 525° C. From the analysis of these plots activation energies for the migration of cation vacancy, the formation of Schottky pairs, the association of the samarium ion with a cation vacancy and the dilution of samarium ions in the lattice of NaCl are calculated. These values are compared with previously reported ones.
