Abstract
In the nanocomposite model developed here, crystals are treated as subordinate aggregate of pro- ton-selected structural elements, their blocks, and proton-containing quantum sublattices with preferred transport effects separating them. The formation of stratified reversible hexagonal structures is accompanied with protonation and formation of a dense network of H-bonds ensuring the nanocomposite properties. Nanodoping with H+ ions occurs during processing of crystals and glasses in melts as well as in aqueous solutions of Ag, Tl, Rb, and Cs salts. The isotope exchange H+ ↔ D+ and ion exchange H+ ↔ M+ lead to nanodoping of protonated materials with D+ and M+ ions. This is manifested especially clearly in Li-depleted nonequilibrium LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 crystals. Low-temperature proton-ion nanodoping over superlattices is a basically new approach to analysis of the structure and properties of extremely nonequilibrium materials.
