Oxygen nonstoichiometry (6), total conductivity (a) and thermoelectric power (S) of the LaFe0.7Ni0.3O3-delta sample have been studied as functions of temperature and oxygen partial pressure. Based on the results of the direct reduction of the sample in hydrogen flow at 1100 degrees C the absolute oxygen content (3 - delta) has been found to vary from 2.999 to 2.974 in the range of 1273-1373 K and 10(-3)-0.21 atm. The point defect equilibrium models have been proposed and fitted to the set of experimental data in the form of log p(O-2) = f(delta)(T) dependences. The values of standard thermodynamic quantities of defect formation reactions have been assessed. The joint analysis of oxygen nonstoichiometry, total conductivity and thermoelectric power has been performed using a small-polaron approach. The values of partial conductivity, partial thermopower and mobilities of electronic charge carriers have been calculated. The p-type semiconducting behavior of LaFe0.7Ni0.3O3-delta has been explained by the higher mobility values of electron holes than those of electrons in the whole range of thermodynamic parameters studied.
