Ionic conductivity in orientationally disordered phases

The properties of orientationally disordered phases (ODPs) and primarily systems based on alkali metal perchlorates and nitrates studied earlier are reviewed. The crystal-chemical effects (cation and anion size, conduction channel, and free volume of the crystal lattice) on the conductivity of alkali metal perchlorates were analyzed. Computer simulation of rubidium nitrate was performed by the classical molecular dynamics method.
