Rl. Moreira et al., ELECTRICAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF A ALPHA-LIIO3-CR3-CRYSTAL( SINGLE), Radiation effects and defects in solids, 137(1-4), 1995, pp. 1545-1548
This paper reports the behaviour of electrical conductivity of a Chrom
ium doped alpha-LiIO3 crystal perpendicular to c-axis from room temper
ature up to the melting point. Our results indicate that the sample do
es not break out through the sequence of phase transitions, contrary t
o a pure crystal. Indeed, it has been possible to measure the electric
al conductivity in the alpha, gamma and beta phases. A phase-sequence
scheme is then proposed and compared with other published results.
