Temperature dependences of electrical conductivity σ( T ) and permittivity ɛ( T ) of one-dimensional (1D) TlGaTe 2 single crystals are investigated. At temperatures higher than 305 K, superionic conductivity of the TlGaTe 2 is observed and is related to diffusion of Tl + ions via vacancies in the th...
