Electrical Conductivity in Mixed Calcium and Barium Iron Phosphate Glasses

TLDR
In this article, the electrical properties of mixed CaO and BaO glasses were studied in the frequency range 400 Hz-200 kHz and over a temperature range 323-593 K.
Abstract
The electrical properties of xCaO-(20 - x)BaO-20Fe 2 O 3 -60P 2 O 5 glasses with x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol% have been studied in the frequency range 400 Hz-200 kHz and over a temperature range 323-593 K. The ac conductivity as a function of temperature was divided into two domains, one where the absolute magnitude of the ac conductivity was close to the dc conductivity and another where it was larger than the dc conductivity. At the same temperature, the dc conductivity varied only slightly in glasses with different CaO and BaO content. It is concluded that the conductivity in these mixed CaO and BaO iron phosphate glasses is electronic and depends upon the Fe 2+ /(Fe 2+ + Fe 3+ ) ratio. In the high-temperature region above θ D /2 (where θ D is the Debye temperature) the Mott model of small polaron hopping (SPH) between nearest neighbours is consistent with the conductivity data, while at low temperature (below θ D ) the Greaves intermediate variable-range hopping (VRH) model is found to be appropriate. The electrical conduction of the glasses is confirmed to be non-adiabatic SPH. Mossbauer spectral analysis indicates the presence of both Fe 2+ and Fe 3+ ions.

TL;DR: In this article, the conduction was confirmed to obey the adiabatic SPH and was mainly due to electronic transport between V ions, the dominant factor determining conductivity was the hopping carrier mobility in these glasses.

Studies of polaron motion: Part II. The “small” polaron

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the case in which the electronic-overlap term of the total Hamiltonian is a small perturbation, and showed that the probability of off-diagonal transitions goes up exponentially with increasing temperature.

A.c. conduction in amorphous chalcogenide and pnictide semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive survey is given of the experimental a.c. data for two types of amorphous semiconductor, namely chalcogenide and pnictide materials, and it is concluded that the behavior at intermediate to high temperatures is well accounted for by the correlated-barrier-hopping model, whereas the low-temperature behaviour is probably due to atomic tunnelling.
