ac Hopping conduction at extreme disorder takes place on the percolating cluster.

چکیده
Simulations of the random barrier model show that ac currents at extreme disorder are carried almost entirely by the percolating cluster slightly above threshold; thus contributions from isolated low-activation-energy clusters are negligible. The effective medium approximation in conjunction with the Alexander-Orbach conjecture lead to an excellent analytical fit to the universal ac conductivity with no nontrivial fitting parameters.

Computer simulations of the random barrier model
A brief review of experimental facts regarding ac electronic and ionic conduction in disordered solids is given followed by a discussion of what is perhaps the simplest realistic model, the random barrier model (symmetric hopping model). Results from large scale computer simulations are presented, focusing on universality of the ac response in the extreme disorder limit. Finally, some important...
متن کاملEffective one-dimensionality of AC hopping conduction in the extreme disorder limit
It is argued that in the limit of extreme disorder AC hopping is dominated by ”percolation paths”. Modelling a percolation path as a one-dimensional path with a sharp jump rate cut-off leads to an expression for the universal AC conductivity, that fits computer simulations in two and three dimensions better than the effective medium approximation. 72.20.-i; 72.80.Ng; 66.30.Dn Typeset using REVT...
متن کاملSmall Polaron Hopping Conduction in Samples of Ceramic La1·4Sr1·6Mn2O7·06
The ceramic sample of La1 ·4Sr1 ·6Mn2O7 ·06 exhibits the metal–insulator transition and a negative magnetoresistance in the vicinity of the Curie temperature (TC ' 100 K). The dc magnetic susceptibility between 100 K and 280 K is nearly constant and decreases gradually with increasing temperature above 280 K. The measurements of dc resistivity and the thermoelectric power indicate that small po...
متن کاملReliability characteristics and conduction mechanisms in resistive switching memory devices using ZnO thin films
In this work, bipolar resistive switching characteristics were demonstrated in the Pt/ZnO/Pt structure. Reliability tests show that ac cycling endurance level above 106 can be achieved. However, significant window closure takes place after about 102 dc cycles. Data retention characteristic exhibits no observed degradation after 168 h. Read durability shows stable resistance states after 106 rea...
متن کاملHopping conduction in Mn-doped ZnO
The dc and ac conductivities of Mn-doped ZnO were investigated at temperatures from 10 to 100 K. The temperature dependence of the dc conductivity from 10 to 100 K shows an abrupt change at ;18 K, manifesting a much lower activation energy for conduction below 18 K. From 10 to 18 K, the ac conductivity, sac(v), varies as sac(v)5Av s in the frequency range from 10 to 10 Hz with s in the range of...
