The frequency spectra and temperature dependences of the ac electric conductivity of MnGa
2S
4 single crystals have been studied. It is established that the conductivity increases with the frequency and exhibits a resonance
at 435–500 kHz. The activation energies of current carriers are determined. The activation energy exhibits a frequency dependence,
which is related to a decrease in the relaxation time of blocking barrier layers with increasing frequency.
