TLDR
In this paper, both dc and ac electrical properties were measured on a compacted nanoparticle assembly and the dc electrical resistivity in the temperature range 140-300K was found to arise due to a variable range hopping conduction mechanism.
Abstract
Cu2O nanoparticles with diameters in the range 6.0-8.6nm were prepared by a chemical method. Both dc and ac electrical properties were measured on a compacted nanoparticle assembly. dc electrical resistivity in the temperature range 140-300K was found to arise due to a variable range hopping conduction mechanism. The ac resistivity variation as a function of frequency (in the range 10kHzto3MHz) and temperature (range 220–320K) was explained on the basis of the power-law exponent in percolating clusters. The interfacial amorphous phase of the nanoparticle assembly appears to control the electrical behavior of the system.

Electronic structure of NiO layers grown on Al2O3 and SiO2 using metallo-organic chemical vapour deposition

TL;DR: In this article, electron states in nanometer-thin NiO layers grown by metallo-organic chemical vapor deposition on SiO2 or Al2O3 by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and internal photoemission measurements points to the presence of a metal-like electron density, in correlation with the enhanced electrical conductivity of the films.

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.

Critical Behaviour of Conductivity and Dielectric Constant near the Metal-Non-Metal Transition Threshold

TL;DR: In this article, the metal-non-metal transition takes place when the volume fraction of the metallic phase approaches the percolation threshold, and it is shown that the static dielectric constant diverges near the threshold.

Nanocrystalline materials an approach to a novel solid structure with gas-like disorder?

TL;DR: In this paper, randomly oriented "nanocrystal" with sizes d below 10 nm, were compacted into a nanocrystalline solid, which consists of crystalline domains and a connective matrix without any short or long range order.
