A. Meyer et al., CONDUCTIVITY AND STRUCTURE RELATIONS IN POLYCRYSTALLINE ALPHA BETA-LEAD FLUORIDE DOPED WITH SCANDIUM FLUORIDE/, Radiation effects and defects in solids, 137(1-4), 1995, pp. 1373-1378
A study is made of temperature and pressure dependence of impedance sp
ectroscopy and x-ray analysis for lead fluoride doped with various con
centrations of scandium fluoride for samples with mixed orthorhombic/c
ubic phase composition. The conductivity is seen to increase with high
er scandium concentration, higher lattice distortion of the orthorhomb
ic phase and a higher concentration of the orthorhombic phase in the s
ample.
