Amorphous vanadium pentoxide

TLDR
In this article, the structure and semiconducting properties of amorphous vanadium pentoxide obtained by splat cooling have been studied and it has been shown that the electronic mobility is lower in the vanadium state than in the orthorhombic V 2 O 5.
Abstract
Structure and semiconducting properties of amorphous vanadium pentoxide obtained by splat cooling have been studied. Long-range order appears suddenly when the oxide is heated to about 200°C. The short-range order of the glass seems to be almost identical to that encountered in orthorhombic V 2 O 5 . ESR spectra are typical of localized electrons, they show that the electronic mobility is lower in the amorphous state. The hopping frequency of the unpaired 3d electron from a V 4+ to a V 5+ ion increases when long-range order is established. This phenomenon is related to the electrical resistivity which is about one order of magnitude higher in the glass.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Polarons in crystalline and non-crystalline materials

TL;DR: The current state of polaron theory as applicable to transition metal oxides is reviewed in this article, including problems such as impurity conduction where disorder plays a role, and an estimate is given of the conditions under which polaron formation leads to an enhancement of the mass but no hopping energy.

TL;DR: Olsen and Hultgren as mentioned in this paper devised a technique by which small amounts of liquid alloys can be cooled at rates high enough to prevent the normal process of nucleation and growth of equilibrium phases.

Electronic conduction in vanadium phosphate glasses

TL;DR: In this article, the dc and ac conductivities and thermoelectric power have been measured as a function of the ratio (V 4+ /V total ) in glasses in the system V 2 O 5 -P 2 O5.
