The temperature dependence of the impedance at frequencies between 100 Hz and 5 MHz and of the dc resistance of SrTiO3 and BaTiO3 single crystals are investigated in the temperature range between 300 and 1300 K. An anomalous behaviour of the capacitance can be explained phenom‐enologically as due to the combined effects of bulk and surface properties. The analysis of the results yields strong evidence that the electric transport in this temperature range is mainly electronic, while ionic contributions play only a minor role. The results seem to be typical for oxidic perovskites and are expected to yield a better understanding of these systems, especially of their transport properties.
