Abstract

Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) is by far the most commonly used technique to investigate experimentally the dynamic response of mobile ions in ionic conductors. Although other techniques, like NMR, light scattering, and neutron scattering, are also used to gain some insights into the ion diffusion process, they are mainly useful to probe high frequency dynamics since their spectral range is much more limited than in the case of IS. Due to its unparalleled broad frequency ν (or time t) range, IS is an ideal tool to study the dynamics of species with electric charge (mobile or bound) in materials [1]. It is based on the interaction of the electric charge of the species inside the sample with an applied electric field, and essentially consists of measuring the magnitude of this interaction and its characteristic frequency or time scale. Nowadays, by combining different experimental techniques, the total frequency range spans from a few nHz (τ ~ 1 year) to above 1 THz (τ ~ 10−1 ps) [2–7]. Thus, we will focus here on the use of IS and pay particular attention to its applications to measurements of the electrical response of ionically conducting materials.
