Nanostructured media involving channels that provide ion transfer are considered. It is shown that the ionic conductivity can be significantly increased by varying the configuration of these channels and their potential profile. Special attention is focused on nonuniform media in which the channels are nonuniformly distributed in the bulk of the sample.
A glass of the composition 0.5As 2 Se 3 · 0.5AgBr is prepared in three forms: a monolithic sample, a film 1 µ m thick, and layers ~20 nm thick separated by vitreous arsenic selenide layers of the same thickness. The temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity are investigated for all three objects. The results obtained are discussed taking into account the specific features of the technique used for evaporating the films and the mutual influence of alternating vitreous nanolayers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
