The Role Of The Dispersion Parameter In Electrical Properties Of Highly Disordered Insulating Materials, Zachary Gibson Oct 2019

The Role Of The Dispersion Parameter In Electrical Properties Of Highly Disordered Insulating Materials, Zachary Gibson

Physics Student Research

Charge transport in disordered solids can be described with use of a dispersion parameter. The dispersion parameter can be defined simply as either the thermal energy (low electric field regime) or the field energy (high field regime) scaled by the reciprocal of a characteristic energy of the material. A transitionary temperature and electric field are defined when the ratio of thermal or field energy over the characteristic energy is one, respectively. This indicates a transition from dispersive transport to normal transport. Dispersive transport can be described simply by the dispersion parameter for many disordered materials. Models involving the dispersion parameter …
