Abstract

The relationship for the static conductivity has been derived from the basic principles of fluctuation statistics. This relationship is non-Arrhenius at low temperatures and describes the experimental data with a high accuracy. Reasoning from general considerations, it is demonstrated that neither the “connectivity scheme” nor the Monte Carlo computer models, which predict the purely Arrhenius behavior of the static conductivity in vitreous solid electrolytes at low temperatures, can serve as the basis for the correct description of ion transfer in similar systems.
