Behavior of the low-frequency conductivity of silver iodide nanocomposites in the superionic phase transition region

Polarization processes in silver iodide films near the superionic phase transition temperature

“…According to (Vergent'eva et al 2013), silver iodide exists in three different crystal forms. At T = 293 K (20 °C), AgI is a two-phase mixture of a cubic gamma phase with a zinc blende structure (F43m, a = 6.495 Å, Z = 4) and a hexagonal beta phase with a wurtzite structure (P63mc, a = 4.592 Å, c = 7.510 Å, Z = 2).…”

“…The authors of (Vergent'eva et al 2013) studied the behavior of the conduction property of an AgI-based composite embedded in porous glasses (average pore size about 7 nm) and opal (pore size 40-100 nm). They found that the temperature of the phase transition of nanoparticles in porous glasses and AgI opals decreases by 20 K, and the width of the temperature hysteresis loop of the phase transition doubles compared to free nanoparticles.…”

Longitudinal conductivity of LaF3/SrF2multilayer heterostructures

“…Our previous papers demonstrate some aspects of ionic transport, dependent on the pore size [14] in doped materials, stoichiometry of films of solid solutions,[15] and magnitude of ionic conductivity in films grown on different substrates. [13] Herein, we investigate longitudinal conductivity of LaF 3 /SrF 2 multilayer heterostructures with different individual layer thicknesses and a constant total thickness (200 nm) grown on MgO(100) substrates.…”
