Abstract

Nano-meter sized structural inhomogeneities of (CuI)_0.52-(Cu₂MoO₄)_0.48 superionic conducting glass were investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The as-quenched sample of CuI-Cu₂MoO₄ is a homogeneous glass, in which the CuI component is finely and uniformly dispersed among the oxyanions of Cu₂MoO₄ glassy matrix. A two-step crystallization, starting at 440 and 495 K, was observed in the glass. After the first step crystallization, precipitating nano-crystalline cubic CuI 2-3 nm in diameter, the electrical conductivity increases by about 50%. On the other hand, the electrical conductivity decreases with the second crystallization event forming crystalline phases of CuI, Cu₂O and others 20-30 nm in diameter.
