Anion Conductivity and Disorder in Lead Fluoride

Abstract

IT is becoming increasingly clear that a substantial number of solid compounds have ionic conductivities in the range more commonly associated with molten salts. In these solids the ions of one type have diffusivities in the range characteristic of liquids (1 to 10 × 10−9 m2 s1) and specific conductances in the range to 10 to 103 Ω1 m−1 (ref. 1). It is usual and appropriate to refer to such materials as solid electrolytes.
