The Hall effect, Nernst E.m.f, current-voltage and capacity-voltage characteristics as well as the frequency dispersion of the dielectric constant of low resistivity gallium oxide single crystals were investigated. The crystals grown under reduced conditions are mixed ionic-electronic conductors. Nonlinear current-voltage characteristic and the dispersion of the dielectric constant are determined by a thin layer of high resistivity gallium oxide on the surface of low resistivity bulk single crystals.
