Effect of high electric field on the dc conductivity of TeO2-V2O5-MoO3 amorphous
bulk samples withdifferent molar ratio of eachcomponent was investigated withgap-type
electrode arrangement. At low electric fields, the current-voltage (I–V ) characteristics
has a linear shape, while at high electric fields (> 103
V/cm), bulk samples show nonlinear
behavior (nonohmic conduction) and current-voltage characteristics shows increasing de-
viation from Ohm’s law with increasing current density. High-field effect of Pool–Frenkel
type was observed at electrical fields about 103
–104
V/cm. In addition, positive devia-
tion from Pool–Frenkel effect was observed when a field higher than about 104
V/ cm wa s
applied.
