We report magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity and optical absorption ofwhere= Nb,Ta and. The dc conductivity follows a simple thermally activated Arrhenius-type behavior in the–700 K range with a change in slope atK. The high-temperature activation energy shows gradual increase fromto 220 meV as the dopant concentration increases. The activation energy of the low-temperature conductivity shows a broad minimum ofmeV at. Electron transport and localization mechanisms are analyzed in the framework of the Holstein small polaron, Anderson localization, and Jahn-Teller distortion models. The fit to the small polaron mobility is dramatically improved when, instead of the longitudinal phonons, the transverse optical phonons are considered in the phonon-assisted electron transport. This serves as an indirect evidence of a strongorbital interaction with the oxygen ligands, similar to the case of. Based on comparison of the experimental data to the models, it is proposed that the defect-induced random electric fields make the dominant contribution to the electron localization in donor-doped ceria.
