Unique vibrational excitations in superionic conducting glass

Nakamura, Mitsutaka   ; Arai, Masatoshi; Kartini, E.*; Taylor, J. W.*; Russina, M.*

Superionic glasses (AgI)$$_{0.33}$$(Ag$$_{2}$$S)$$_{0.33}$$(AgPO$$_{3}$$)$$_{0.34}$$ and (AgI)$$_{0.5}$$(AgPO$$_{3}$$)$$_{0.5}$$ have high ionic conductivity at room temperature ($$sigmasim10^{-2}$$S/cm). The inelastic neutron scattering measurements show that the superionic glass has larger intensity in low-energy region compared with undoped insulator glass (AgPO$$_{3}$$). For superionic glasses we find an excess intensity above $$Q$$=1.8$AA$^{-1}$$ and peak profile at around 2.2$AA$^{-1}$$ by investigating the $$Q$$-dependent features in low-energy region. These phenomena should be universal features of silver-salt superionic glass. We suppose that Ag-Ag dynamical correlation should promote the successive hopping process, and result in high ionic conductivity.
