研究目的
To develop the growth technology as well as to investigate structural and electrical properties of (Cu1-хAgx)7GeS5I solid solutions.
研究成果
The (Cu1-хAgx)7GeS5I solid solutions crystallize in a face-centered cubic lattice with increasing lattice parameter as Ag content rises. Electrical conductivity follows the Arrhenius law, decreasing with Ag content except for x=1, with activation energy peaking at x=0.5. Structural changes, such as increased site occupation factor and distance between mobile ion positions, correlate with reduced ion mobility and conductivity, showing a good relationship between structural and electrical properties.
研究不足
The study is limited to the temperature range of 300–360 K and frequency range of 10 Hz–10 GHz; it does not explore higher temperatures or broader frequency ranges, and the crystal growth method may have constraints in scalability or reproducibility for other compositions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
