Colloidal solutions of amorphous V2O5 are used for preparing semiconducting layers. Reasons for the high measured conductivity (σ≃0.8–1.0 Ω−1 cm−1) are discussed. The temperature dependence of σ is analyzed in terms of a temperature-dependent activation-energy model based upon the assumption of a random distribution of the distances between hopping sites.
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.
