“…In this conduction type, the large-polaron wells at two sites are assumed to overlap, thus reducing the polaron hopping energy, which is given by: W H = W H0 (1 − r p / R ) where W H0 is associated with the activation energy, r p is the radius of a large polaron and R is the inter-site separation. The relation between the power parameter s and temperature for the OLPT mechanism is as follows: 60
where α is the spatial extent of the polaron, R ω is the hopping length at the angular frequency ω , k is the Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature. The higher values of activation energy in our case also support this argument.…”
