X-ray analysis were obtained at room temperature using Coka with λ = 1.790A0 confirmed the presence of W-type hexaferrite phase structure . Saturation magnetization and hysteresis loops curves measurements at room temperature were studied as a function of Cu 2+ substitution . It can be seen that the Cu 2+ content slightly decreases the saturation magnetization from 25 to 20 (emug-1), all hysterysis loops are closed which indicates low anisotropy field and low saturation magnetization field . The dc conductivity and thermoelectric power was measured in range from room temperature up to T = 750 K for all samples . The thermoelectric power decreases by increasing Cu 2+ content and the conductivity increases with temperature . The value of the charge carrier concentration increases by increasing temperature and Cu 2+ content.
