Electrical conductivity measurements on pure and doped KNaSO4 and K3Na(SO4)2 reveal high ionic conductivity values in the high temperature phase. High conductivity values ascribed to Na+ resemble a superionic or fast-ion conductor.

ABSTRACTLithium sodium sulfate (LiNaSO4) belongs to a group of simple inorganic salts exhibiting fast-cation conducting high-temperature phases with rotationally disordered anions. The analysis of a combination of quasielastic neutron scattering and high-frequency (10 MHz to 60 GHz) conductivity measurements in the high-temperature phase of LiNaSO4 reveals an unusual cation conduction mechanism: the Haven ratio, HR = D*/Dσ, turns out to be considerably larger than one. This behavior, to our knowledge detected for the first time in a typical fast ion conductor, can be traced back to a charge correlation factor clearly smaller than unity, indicating that charge transport is less effective than tracer transport in this material.

AbstractA structure earlier reported for K3NdSi6O15 suggests the possibility for fast—ion conduction by virtue of K+ ions which not only reside in connected channels, but which also display very large thermal vibration amplitudes. No properties of the phase had heretofore been examined. Crystals up to 2mm inlength have been synthesized under a variety of hydrothermal conditions. Refinement of the structure with single crystal x-ray data to a residual of 8.3% confirms the composition and structure of our crystals and reveals a very high thermal vibration amplitude along c for K+ ions which reside in interconnected [001] channels.A reversible phase transformation has been discovered at 180ºC with a heat of transformation of 4J/g. Preliminary measurements of the conductivity of the high temperature phase yield a preexponential factor of 3.4/cm and an activation energy of 0.61ev along [001], indicating that this compound is not a particularly good fast—ion conductor.

We have measured the heat capacity of the fast ion conductor PbSnF4 at 10.3 < T < 352 K by adiabatic calorimetry. Our results show anomalous values in the Cp,m in the region 300 < T < 352 K. These are associated with the α–β crystallographic transition reported at 353 K. Because the upper temperature limit of our cryostat is around 354 K, it was impossible to follow the phase transition to completion. A more subtle anomaly in the Cp,m was detected between 130 and 160 K. Standard molar thermodynamic functions are presented at selected temperatures from 5 to 350 K.
