Polaronic conduction in lanthanum strontium chromite
Keyword(s):
In many polycrystalline ceramic materials the transport properties are strongly affected by internal barrier effects or by the presence of contact barriers. The transport properties of La1−xSrxCrO3, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2 have been investigated and the degree to which these barriers affect the measured transport properties has been established. Measurements of the dc and ac conductivity in the range 77 K ≤ T ≤ 1300 K are consistent with the hopping of polarons in a defect band of localized states at the Fermi energy with the thermopower essentially independent of temperature. A polaron radius of 3.5 Å has been determined with room temperature mobility of 5 × 10−4 cm2 V−1 s−1.
