Nano-Ionics: More Than Just a Fashionable Slogan

Abstract

The paper considers and investigates the dependence of the ionic conductivity on the spacing of interfaces. Not only does a narrow spacing lead to an increased proportion of interfacial conductivity, it may also cause local size effects to occur. The present status as well as the perspective of this field are discussed and shown to justify the term “nano-ionics”.
