The effect of non-stoichiometric substitution of chromium ions on the conductivity of bismuth stannates was studied. The measurement of the current-voltage characteristic in the temperature range 300-800 K and electric fields from -800 to 800 V/cm was carried out. A change of the conductivity type from hopping to tunnel-emission in the structural phase transition region is established. The influence of the concentration of the substituting ion on the change of the conductivity type was determined.
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.
