Abstract
The a.c. conductivity of a-Se80Te20 and a-Se80Te10M10 (M = Cd, In, Sb) alloys has been investigated as a function of temperature in the range from 280 to 330 K and frequency in the range from 102 to 104 Hz. The experimental results indicate that a.c. conductivity σac is proportional to ωs where s < 1 and decreases with increasing temperature. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the correlated barrier hopping (CBH) model. An agreement between experimental and theoretical results suggests that the a.c. conductivity behavior of a-Se80Te20 and a-Se80Te10M10 (M = Cd, In, Sb) system can be successfully explained by CBH model. The contribution of single polaron and bipolaron hopping to a.c. conductivity in present alloys is also studied.
