Abstract

The appearance of a current in an external circuit has been observed upon elastic deformation of a local region of the superionic crystal RbAg4I5. The dependence of the magnitude and sign of the deformation current on the region of application of the local load on the sample is examined, and the temporal characteristics of the processes are investigated. The influence of an elastic deformation on processes taking place at the 〈superionic crystal〉-〈electrode〉 heterojunction is investigated, and a mechanism of generation of the deformation current is proposed. The generation of photostimulated currents upon illumination of a local region of the superionic conductor by light corresponding to intracenter excitation of optically active centers is considered. It is shown that the elastic stress fields arising around photoexcited centers are responsible for the generation of photostimulated currents.
