The layered delafossite structure p-type transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) and the mayenite cage-structure n-type transparent conducting oxides represent enabling materials for novel technological applications. In the present work, isovalent replacement of the delafossite B-site cation (i.e., B=Sc and Y for Al in CuBO2) and isovalent substitution of the mayenite Ca-cations by Mg in C(12)A(7) (12CaO center dot 7Al(2)O(3)) were undertaken to probe the conduction mechanisms and defect structures of these novel materials. Both classes of materials exhibit small polaron conduction with comparable activation energies and conductivities. In the delafossites, increasing B-cation radius increases the hopping energy without changing the pre-exponential factors. An upper limit for mobility is estimated at similar to 1 cm(2) v(-1) s(-1) for these materials. In terms of carrier generation mechanisms, there is a changeover from aluminum anti-site/oxygen interstitial associates in CuAlO2 to oxygen interstitials in CuScO2 and CuYO2. In Mg-doped mayenite, substitution produces no change in activation energy but a precipitous drop in the pre-exponential factor. This behavior is linked to magnesium ions blocking critical conduction paths in the mayenite structure. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
