Abstract

A brief phenomenological introduction to the important physical parameters involved in ionic conduction in solids is followed by order of magnitude estimates of these quantities for materials which can be considered to be fast ion conductors. Experimental techniques are outlined, and a comprehensive compilation of currently available data on fast ion conductors is presented. The conductivity and diffusion data are coupled with additional criteria to indicate broad classes of materials which may show enhanced ion conductivity.
