TL;DR: In this paper, a molecular-dynamcis study of silver diffusion in superionic conductor AgI is performed, where the potentials are constructed using Pauling's ideas of ionic radii and the diffusion constant for silver and its temperature dependence are in good agreement with experiment.
Abstract: A molecular-dynamcis study of silver diffusion in superionic conductor $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-AgI is performed. Interionic potentials are constructed using Pauling's ideas of ionic radii. The diffusion constant for silver and its temperature dependence are in good agreement with experiment. Good agreement is also obtained for the silver density map with the experiment of Cava, Reidinger, and Wuensch.

TL;DR: In the case of LiNbO3, the glass conductivities are many orders of magnitude greater than that of the single crystal as mentioned in this paper. But they are not sufficient for rapidly quenched vitreous oxides for applications as solid electrolytes.
Abstract: Alkali niobate and tantalate glasses have been prepared by rapid quenching. These glasses exhibit room‐temperature ionic conductivities as high as 10−5 (Ω cm)−1 and electronic conductivities less than 10−11(Ω cm)−1. In the case of LiNbO3, the glass conductivity is many orders of magnitude greater than that of the single crystal. These conductivities are sufficiently high for rapidly quenched vitreous oxides to be considered for applications as solid electrolytes.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure of molten BaCl2 has been investigated by applying the technique of neutron diffraction to isotopically enriched samples, and three partial factors relating to Ba-Ba, Cl-Cl and Ba-Cl correlations have been successfully extracted from the experimental data.
Abstract: The structure of molten BaCl2 has been investigated by applying the technique of neutron diffraction to isotopically enriched samples. The three partial factors relating to Ba-Ba, Cl-Cl and Ba-Cl correlations have been successfully extracted from the experimental data. It is concluded that the correct description of the melt is in terms of Ba2+ ions and Cl- ions rather than BaCl+ complexes and Cl- ions as was earlier supposed. The observed structure of the liquid is related to the fast ionic conductivity known to characterise the high temperature (cubic) phase of solid BaCl2.

TL;DR: In this paper, an excluded volume model was proposed for the cation-anion interaction in superionic conductors and the resulting cationanion correlations were in excellent quantitative agreement with the pair distribution function derived from EXAFS measurements on AgI in both the normal beta and superionic alpha phases.
Abstract: An excluded volume model is proposed for the cation-anion interaction in superionic conductors. The resulting cation-anion correlations are in excellent quantitative agreement with the pair distribution function derived from EXAFS measurements on AgI in both the normal beta and superionic alpha phases. Further, from the EXAFS data alone, the model predicts the substantial increase in ionic conductivity at the phase transition as well as the modest temperature dependence above it.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the 19F self-diffusion was investigated in PbF2, up to the melting point, by NMR techniques, and the results were compared with those of ionic conductivity and are found to be 0.88+or-0.10 eV, assuming a vacancy mechanism of selfdiffusion is operative.
Abstract: The 19F- self-diffusion has been investigated in PbF2, up to the melting point, by NMR techniques. Relaxation time measurements (T1, T2 and T1 rho ) have been made from 300 to 1095K. Anomalous behaviour above 500K, similar to that reported in previous investigations, is found to be due to paramagnetic impurity produced as a result of the high reactivity of PbF2 at these temperatures. Direct F- diffusion measurements have been made using NMR spin echoes from 570K to 1005K. These results are compared with those of ionic conductivity and are found to be 0.88+or-0.10 eV, assuming a vacancy mechanism of self-diffusion is operative. Above the phase transition at 705K the F- diffusion coefficient changes more slowly with temperature, being characterised by an activation energy of 0.20+or-0.02 eV, which is typical of a fast ion conductor.

TL;DR: In this article, a new material for self-contained all-solid-state electrochromic devices with fast response was proposed, which is called phosphotungstic acid (PWA).
Abstract: We report a new material for self‐contained all‐solid‐state electrochromic devices with fast response. The material is phosphotungstic acid (PWA) which, at room temperature, is both an electrochromic material and an ionic conductor. Response times of 50 msec have been measured in cells of type M/PWA/SnO2, where M denotes an electrode that provides ions of Ag, Cu, or Li. The cell exhibits memory.

Abstract: The effect of cobalt as a dopant for sodium-beta-alumina has been studied in polycrystalline materials prepared from a mixed oxide precursor. Two materials have been examined; one containing a small amount of cobalt as well as magnesium as a dopant and the other magnesium alone to produce the same molar quality of divalent dopant. The sintering behaviour, microstructure and phase composition are shown to be related to the measured ionic conductivity.

TL;DR: In this article, the ionic thermoelectric power of a superionic conductor is calculated using a lattice gas model in one dimension for the case where the lattice sites are 50% occupied.
Abstract: The ionic thermoelectric power of a superionic conductor is calculated using a lattice gas model in one dimension for the case where the lattice sites are 50% occupied. The calculated thermoelectric power is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature and the activation energy for ionic conduction is equal to the heat of transport. The results explain experiments fairly good.
