We report the influence of magnetic field on I-V characteristics of α-Fe{sub 1.64}Ga{sub 0.36}O{sub 3} sample. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction pattern and Raman Spectroscopy have confirmed rhombohedral structure with space group R3C in the sample. The sample exhibits ferromagnetic feature at room temperature and non saturation of magnetization up to 7Tesla suggests the effect of non-collinear structure (canting) of the spins on the ferromagnetic properties. We have recorded I-V characteristics of the sample under magnetic field to study the effect of non-collinear spin structure on the electrical properties. Space charge limited current mechanism controlled the nature of non-linear I-V curves and the curves are significantly affected by magnetic field.
