Abstract
ABSTRACT is a new member of the corundum-type family. Its crystal structure is trigonal with space group . and ions share the A-site with fifty-fifty occupancy. In , exhibits a 2 + oxidation state, whereas shows a reduction in the charge state from 5 + to 4 + due to the presence of vacancy-trapped electrons in dimmer. The conductivity spectra analysis in view of various transport models states that overlapping large polaron tunneling is the predominant transport process (polaron radius 10.65 Å) in the low-temperature range (303-473 K), while for the high-temperature range (573-673 K), the conduction is intrinsic, and the carriers are primarily small polarons. The proximity between optical bandgap (∼1.60 eV) and conduction activation energy (1.64 eV) is due to the formation of intermediate energy bands near the Fermi level and their participation in high-temperature intrinsic conduction.
期刊介绍：
Phase Transitions is the only journal devoted exclusively to this important subject. It provides a focus for papers on most aspects of phase transitions in condensed matter. Although emphasis is placed primarily on experimental work, theoretical papers are welcome if they have some bearing on experimental results. The areas of interest include:
-structural phase transitions (ferroelectric, ferroelastic, multiferroic, order-disorder, Jahn-Teller, etc.) under a range of external parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, electric/magnetic fields, etc.)
-geophysical phase transitions
-metal-insulator phase transitions
-superconducting and superfluid transitions
-magnetic phase transitions
-critical phenomena and physical properties at phase transitions
-liquid crystals
-technological applications of phase transitions
-quantum phase transitions
Phase Transitions publishes both research papers and invited articles devoted to special topics. Major review papers are particularly welcome. A further emphasis of the journal is the publication of a selected number of small workshops, which are at the forefront of their field.
