A variation in d.c. conductivity and activation energy of 35 mol % CUO-65 mol % PzO~ glasses is observed as CuO is gradually replaced by NiO or CoO. These results are believed to be due to the change in the redox ratio of the two transition metal oxide glasses, which causes an increase and then a decrease of polaron hopping transitions between the ions of the same element and between the ions of the different transition metal elements.
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.
