Abstract

Conductivity spectra of crystalline, glassy and molten electrolytes are presented and discussed. The spectra cover fourteen decades on the frequency scale as well as wide temperature ranges. In some crystalline ion conductors, the translational and vibrational contributions to the conductivity are well separated on the frequency scale. This is not observed in glasses and melts. In these cases, the vibrational components can, however, often be removed from the total spectra, yielding the translational component. We find that in crystalline, glassy, and molten electrolytes the conductivity caused by translational motion of the ions exhibits plateaux at both low and high frequencies, with a dispersive regime in between. The dispersive sections of the conductivity isotherms always cover a triangular area in a log-log plot of conductivity times temperature versus frequency. For an interpretation, the jump relaxation model turns out to be appropriate for crystalline electrolytes. The existence of different kinds of site is typical of glasses. For fragile molten electrolytes, a simple semimicroscopic model is presented which explains the experimental findings including the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann temperature dependence of the dc conductivity.
