Abstract :
In the presence of high electric fields, the region adjacent to a metallic anode of an ionic conducting glass quickly becomes depleted of mobile ionic carriers. At the cathode, however, electrons are injected into the glass from the metal electrode and cause the effective conductivity of this region to increase.
