Aspects of Surface Ionic Conduction

Abstract

Bulk ionic and mixed electrical conduction have investigated in many ionic, polymeric and complex systems. The surface ionic conduction has paid a little attention so far. The surface ionic is important for development of various ionic devices and sensors. The present work makes an attempt towards an experimental investigation of the characteristics of surface ionic conduction. The various aspects of measured surface ionic conduction, like frequency dispersion, dielectric behavior and nature response, are analyzed from theoretical view-point. The marked distinctions of surface ionic conduction over bulk ionic conduction are also analyzed. The said analysis is carried out over pure ionic, polymeric and electro-active-bio-polymeric surfaces. The overall results obtained contain many new and interesting aspect of the conducting behavior.
