This work focuses on the electrical conduction mechanism in a lead free ($Na_{0.5}K_{0.5}NbO_3$ ; NKN) ceramics system with $LiNbO_3$ content of approximately critical concentration $x{\geq}0.2$. Lead free $(1-x)(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-x(LiNbO_3)$, $NKN-LN_x$ (x = 0.1, 0.2) ceramics were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. Crystal structures are confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The electric-mechanical bond coefficient $k_p$ decreases and the phase transition temperature $T_c$ increases with increasing x content, as determined by dielectric and piezoelectric measurements. The value of the real dielectric constants ${\varepsilon}^{\prime}$ and $k_BT{\varepsilon}^{\prime\prime}$ showed anomalies around $T_c$ ($462^{\circ}C$ in the NKN-LN0.1 and $500^{\circ}C$ in the NKN-LN0.2). For the ionic conduction of mobile ions, the activation energies are obtained as $E_I=1.76eV$ (NKN-LN0.1) and $E_I=1.55eV$ (NKN-LN0.2), above $T_c$, and $E_{II}=0.78$ (NKNL-N0.1) and $E_{II}=0.81$ (NKN-LN0.2) below $T_c$. It is believed that the conduction mechanisms of NKN-LNx ceramics are related to ionic hopping conduction, which may arise mainly due to the jumping of $Li^+$ ions.

To understand the performance of the electrochemical device, the analysis of the mechanism of ionic conduction is important. However, due to the ionic interaction in the electrolyte and the complexity of the electrolyte structure, a clear analysis method of the ion conduction mechanism has not been proposed. Instead, a variety of mathematical models have been devised to explain the mechanism of ion conduction, and this review introduces the Arrhenius and Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF) model. In general, the above two mathematical models are used to describe the temperature dependence of the transport properties of electrolytes such as ionic conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity, and a suitable model can be determined through the linearity of the graph consisting of the logarithm of the moving property and the reciprocal of the temperature. Currently, many electrolyte studies are evaluating the suitability of the above two models for electrolytes by varying the composition and temperature range, and the ion conduction mechanism analysis and activation energy calculation are in progress. However, since there are no models that can accurately describe the transport properties of electrolytes, new models and improvement of existing models are needed.

Grain-boundary conduction in the fluorite-structure solid oxide electrolytes such as acceptor-doped zirconia and ceria were reviewed. The siliceous impurity, even several hundreds ppm, affects the ionic conduction across grain boundary to a great extent. Various approaches to improve grain-boundary conduction in fluorite-structure oxide electrolytes have been investigated, which include (1) the scavenging of siliceous phase by the reaction with second phase, (2) the gathering of intergranular siliceous phase into a discrete configuration and (3) the dewetting of intergranular liquid phase by post-sintering heat treatment.

In this study, PVDF thin films which show the excellent piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, are prepared by PVD (physical vapor deposition) method, and thir electrical conduction phenomena for analyses of the electrical conduction mechanism and TSC (Thermally Stimulated Current) for identification of the behavior of conductive carriers are investigated. As a result of FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) spectra, the crystalline phase transforms $\alpha$ type into $\beta$ type with increasing electric field. From XRD (X-Ray diffraction) analyses patterns, the degree of crystallinity increases from 49.8% to 67%, as the substrate temperature increases from $30^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$. As a result of electrical conduction phenomena, the electrical conduction mechanism of PVDF thin films is identified as ionic conduction mechanism. From TSC analyses, there are three peaks as P1, P2, P3 with increasing temperature, and with increasing substrate temperature, the peak temperature of TSC increases and the peak intensity of TSC decreases.

$Gd_2O_3-ThO_2$ solid solutions containing 8,10 and 12 mol % $ThO_2$ were synthesized with spectroscopically pure $Gd_2O_3,$ and $ThO_2$ polycrystalline powders. X-ray diffraction revealed that all synthesized specimens have the modified fluorite structure, and the lattice parameter of $Gd_2O_3$ is nearly unchanged with increasing $ThO_2$ mol %. Both ac and dc conductivities were measured in the temperature range $500-1100^{\circ}C$ under $Po_2's$ from $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm. The dc conductivities are nearly independent of $Po_2,$ and agree with the ac values. This implies that the solid solutions are ionic conductors. The conductivity increases with increasing $ThO_2$ mol % with an average activation energy of 1.23 eV. An oxygen interstitial defect and ionic hopping conduction are suggested.

The conducting currents of polypropylene film was measured a function with electric fields at temperature of 25,35,45( C). It appears that there are four regions of conducting currents, depending upon the strength of the applied electric field` ohmic region based on ionic conduction, Poole-Frenkel region, Schottky region and negative resistance region. Several information of dielectric constant and potential barrier height were obtained.

양극산화 피막의 형성 반응에 대한 연구는 1930년대부터 되어 왔으며, 특히 High Field Conduction에 대한 물리학자들의 관심도는 아주 높아었다. 1960년대 이르러 비정질 구조에 대한 심도 있는 연구가 진행되면서, 여러 가지 이론적으로 풀지 못하는 실험실적 결과들에 대한 제한들이 나오게 되었고, Ionic Migration Process에 대한 Kinetics는 많은 발전을 보게 되었다. 최근까지의 연구결과, Ioinc Conduction Mechanism은 Anodic Film의 미세 결정 구조와 밀접한 연관성을 가진다는 결론에 도달하였고, 비정질 구조의 High Field하에서의 거동에 대한 새로운 분야의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 반응 Mechanism에 관한 연구결과들을 1930년대 이후 어떻게 진행되어 설명 되었는가를 조명하므로서 실제 실험 결과의 해석게 도움이 되었으면 하는 바램이다.

Phase formation and oxygen ion conduction of La(Ba)Ga(Mg)O3-$\delta$ system was studied, BaLaGa3O7 and BaLaGaO4 formed as a secondary phase above the solubility limit of Ba2+ in La3+ sites. The oxygen ionic conductivity of La(Ba)Ga(Mg)O3-$\delta$ was 0.1 S/cm 80$0^{\circ}C$ The activation energy of the oxygen ion conduction was dependent on temperature. This value was higher at low temperature than at high temperature.

In order to investigate the conduction characteistics of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film, several measurements have been carried out in the range of temperature between 5['c] and 25['c] as well as the field intensity between 10[MV/m] and 300[MV/m]. The whole range of the characteristics observed at 15['c] appears to be divided into five regions` the Ohmic conduction region due to ionic carrier below 40[MV/m], the region from 40[MV/m] to 70[MV/m] in which the conduction mechanism is attributed to Poole-Frenkel effect, the region from 70[MV/m] to 82[MV/m] in which the negative resistance characteristics are observed, then the region from 82[MV/m] which is dominated by Schottky effect and finally, the region from 240[MV/m] up to the point where dielectric breakdown occurs in which the mechanism is based on Flowler-Nordheim theory.
