DIRECT DISPLAY OF THE ACCUMULATION OF SPACE CHARGES IN ONE-DIMENSIONAL IONIC CONDUCTOR α-LiIO3

Abstract
The optical and electric properties of α-LiIO3 and its quasi one-dimensional ionic transportation are closely correlated. A great deal of information of the ionic transportation can be obtained by studying the optical and electric phenomena. Here two experiments have been designed and carried out. We have proved that the accumulational lines of space charges are produced by the interstitial Lithium ions and cation vacancies also the bright lines of grating which we recently reported are charge carriers. The whole growth layer are rich of positive charges. It can be sure that the ionic tube transportation is identi cal with the accumulation of space charges.
