Abstract

Lithium diffusion in amorphous LiNbO3, synthesized by a sol-gel process, was investigated by temperature- and frequency-dependent 7Li NMR experiments. 7Li spin-lattice relaxation rates T1-1 and 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, in particular line shapes and motional narrowing of the central line, were measured. The results are discussed in comparison with those on nano- and microcrystalline LiNbO3 investigated by us earlier. The Li diffusivity in the amorphous material is much higher than in the microcrystalline one and can be described by practically the same diffusion parameters as in nanocrystalline LiNbO3. This suggests that the diffusion pathways in amorphous LiNbO3 and in the interfacial regions of nanocrystalline LiNbO3 have similar structures.
