Obtaining and Measuring Impedance Characteristics of the Ag8SiSe6 Compound
Abstract
Samples of the Ag8SiSe6 compound were obtained by direct alloying of initial components and subsequent pressing of powders under a pressure of 0.7 GPa. Temperature dependences of conductivity (σ(T)) and permittivity (ε(T)) of the Ag8SiSe6 compound were studied in constant and alternating electric fields. In a constant field, the electrical conductivity is found to decrease over time (σ(t)). This phenomenon is associated with the process of charge accumulation at the interface of the ion sample and the blocking electrode. Complex impedance spectra were studied in the frequency range of 20–106 Hz.
