ELECTRONIC CONDUCTION IN NON-CRYSTALLINE SOLIDS.

Abstract

Non-crystalline solids which exhibit electronic conduction include oxide glasses, the so-called chalcogenide glasses, glassy elements such as carbon and a large variety of amorphous films. The electrical resistivity encountered ranges from 10 to the -3rd power ohm cm to greater than 10 to the 15th power ohm cm at room temperature. The mechanisms of conduction can differ significantly. In this paper, the electrical properties of these various types of non-crystalline solids are reviewed with particular emphasis on the relationship between structure, experimental conditions during formation and electronic conduction.
