We report on the transport and magnetic properties of Mn‐doped CuAlO 2 ceramics (CuAl 1− x Mn x O 2 , 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.05) fabricated by standard solid solution method in an air atmosphere at a sintering temperature of 1150 °C. The equilibrium solubility of Mn ions in CuAlO 2 was found to be as low as 3 mol%. Non‐doped CuAlO 2 ceramics were semiconducting with a hole concentration of ∼5.8 × 10 16 cm −3 and an increase of Mn ion rapidly reduced the hole concentration. The magnetization measurements for all CuAl 1− x Mn x O 2 samples showed paramagnetic behaviors and a negative value of the Curie–Weiss temperature corresponding to antiferromagnetic exchange coupling between Mn ions in delafossite CuAlO 2 lattice.
