P_(2)O_85)). As temperature is increased a crossover is observed from a nearly constant loss to a fractional power law frequency dependence of the ac conductivity. At any fixed frequency ω, this crossover occurs at a temperature T such that ω = v_(0) exp(-E_(m)/k_(B)T), where v_(0) is the attempt frequency and E_(m) is identified with the barrier for Li^(+) ions to leave their wells.engOrigin of constant loss in ionic conductorsjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.1279http://journals.aps.org/open access537Non-Arrhenius conductivityAC conductivityNonlinear latticesSlow relaxationOxide glassesTemperatureDynamicsSpectraMeltsSpectroscopy.ElectricidadElectrónica (Física)2202.03 Electricidad
