Non-Arrhenius temperature dependence of bulk dc conductivity was observed in La 13 x Li 3x TaO 3 which are Liion conductors derived from A-site deficient perovskites. In order to discuss the non-Arrhenius conductivity, several parameters relevant to the Li ion dynamics were determined by impedance spectroscopy and 7 Li NMR. The activation energies of the dc conductivity in the high and low temperature ranges were nearly equal to that of the reciprocal correlation time f NMR obtained from NMR measurement and that of the crossover frequency f p extracted from a power-law analysis of conductivity spectra, respectively. A change in the activation energy of the dc conductivity occurred in the vicinity of temperature where f p is equal to f NMR . Because f p relates to correlated hops of mobile ions and f NMR to non-correlated hops, our result supports Ngai's explanation which premises presence of a microscopic time.
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.
