Abstract

Transport and dielectric properties of polycrystalline CoO films were studied as functions of the applied field, frequency and temperature. TheI–V plots showed that the Poole-Frenkel field emission mechanism is responsible for conduction at fields>105 V/cm. The ac conductivity σ(ω), the imaginary part of the dielectric constantε 2, and tan δ plots as functions of frequency revealed three dispersion regions. The σ(ω) andε 2 frequency dependence indicates a non-adiabatic hopping of charge carriers at low frequencies and adiabatic hopping at high frequencies. The activation energy of a dielectric oscillator is 0.15 eV.
