The results of investigating charge-transfer processes in thin layers of a vitreous system (As_2Se_3)_100 – _ x Bi_ x are presented. A power-law dependence of the conductivity on the frequency and a decrease in the exponent s with increasing temperature are found. Charge transfer is a thermally activated process with two regions in the temperature dependence of the conductivity with the activation energies E _1 = 0.12 ± 0.01 eV and E _2 = 0.23 ± 0.01 eV, respectively. The results are explained in terms of the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model of hopping conductivity in disordered systems. The main microparameters of the system are calculated: the density of localized states ( N ), the hopping length ( R _ω), and the largest height of the potential barrier ( W _ M ).
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.
