The temperature dependence of electrical properties for K{sub 2}NiF{sub 4} type oxide, La{sub 2}Cu{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Ni{sub {ital x}}O{sub 4+{delta}} and La{sub 1.8}Nd{sub 0.2}Cu{sub 1{minus}{ital x}}Ni{sub {ital x}}O{sub 4+{delta}} ({ital x}=0.0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20), were investigated between R.T and 1173 K in view of potential thermoelectric material. Structural studies were made using a Rietveld pattern fitting refinement with X-ray powder diffraction data. Lattice parameter in {ital c} axis decreases with Ni content, while {ital a} increases and {ital b} is almost invariant. The electrical conductivity increases with a substitution of Ni ion in Cu sites, showing the transition between quasi-metallic and semiconducting. However, the absolute value of 5 and 10 mol % Ni-doped composition are lower than that of un-doped La{sub 2}CuO{sub 4+{delta}}. The thermoelectric power decreases continuously with Ni content. These behaviors were considered to an ability of Ni ion for incorporating an excess oxygen owing to the easier accessibility of Ni{sup 3+} and deleting of the local Cu 3d band by 3d{sup 8} configuration of Ni{sup 2+}. Power factors with doping of Ni are not enhanced. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
