Single crystals of Cu7GeS5I-Cu7GeSe5I superionic solid solutions were grown by chemical transport. Their electrical conductivity in the frequency range 1.0·106 -1.2·10 9 Hz and in the temperature range 100-300 K was measured; the compositional dependences of the electrical conductivity and activation energy were obtained. Electrochemical studies of Cu7GeS5I-Cu7GeSe5I solid solutions were performed, the character of compositional variation of the electrode potential and the range of the electrochemical stability at S→Se substitution were determined. The optical absorption edge of Cu7GeS5I-Cu7GeSe5I superionic solid solutions in the temperature range 77-300 K were studied; the compositional dependences of the optical pseudogap and Urbach energy were obtained.
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.
