TI  - Mixed barrier model for the mixed glass former effect in ion conducting glasses.
PG  - 145902
AB  - Mixing two types of glass formers in ion conducting glasses can be exploited to 
      lower conductivity activation energy and thereby increasing the ionic 
      conductivity, a phenomenon known as the mixed glass former effect (MGFE). We 
      develop a model for this MGFE, where activation barriers for individual ion jumps 
      get lowered in inhomogeneous environments containing both types of network 
      forming units. Fits of the model to experimental data allow one to estimate the 
      strength of the barrier reduction, and they indicate a spatial clustering of the 
      two types of network formers. The model predicts a time-temperature superposition 
      of conductivity spectra onto a common master curve independent of the mixing 
      ratio.
