Influence of Fe on Crystallization Behaviour and Electrical Conductivity of V2O5 ⋅ MoO3 ⋅ CdO ⋅ ZnO Glass Nanocomposite

“…[52][53][54] Figure 6 depicts the temperature-dependent DC electrical conductivity of the current system, demonstrating its thermally activated nature. [12,[23][24][53][54]56] It is also shown in Figure 6 that the current system agrees well with the DC conductivity ranges of a vanadium-doped nanostructured sample doped. [12,57] As can be observed in Figure 6, DC conductivity rises as temperature rises, indicating that the current system is of semiconducting type.…”

“…In the current work, the investigation of the DC electrical conductivity of amorphous semiconductors may take into account the density of defect states in the mobility gap [52–54] . Figure 6 depicts the temperature‐dependent DC electrical conductivity of the current system, demonstrating its thermally activated nature [12,23–24,53–54,56] . It is also shown in Figure 6 that the current system agrees well with the DC conductivity ranges of a vanadium‐doped nanostructured sample doped [12,57] .…”

“…[60] Higher values of n would suggest the motion of a small polaron in the current nano glassy system is percolation type. [60][61][62][23][24]37] We have observed that DC activation energy (E σ ), and activation energy (E H ) for hopping frequency (ω H ) increases with increasing Fe content in glass system based on xFe ⋅ (1-x) (0.3 V 2 O 5 ⋅ 0.2MoO 3 ⋅ 0.4CdO ⋅ 0.1ZnO) [x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10] compare with other glassy systems [12,[23][24][53][54]56] (Table 1).…”

[12,[23][24][53][54]56] As the Fe content is doped gradually with the host glassy system, DC conductivity increases. [24] The experimental data in Figure 6 can be analyzed using the Arrhenius type relation (4).…”
