Monte Carlo Study of Dispersive Transport in Glassy Electrolytes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 February 2011
Abstract
A lattice-gas model is presented, where ions are diffusing in an energy landscape due to immobile, randomly placed counterions. All Coulombic interactions are taken into account.By Monte Carlo simulations we obtain the ac-conductivity, which shows strong dispersion in the form of power-laws. In a separate study we investigate a restricted model, where long-range diffusion is suppressed. These calculations suggest that the response at high frequencies can be interpreted in terms of highly correlated, local motions of dipolar character. Conductivity exponents n1 near unity or even exceeding unity arefound in that regime. We discuss the relationship of these results to experiments on ionic transport in alkali-doped network glasses.
