Abstract

Cu2O nanoparticles with diameters in the range 6.0-8.6 nm were prepared by a chemical method. Both dc and ac electrical properties were measured on a compacted nanoparticle assembly. dc electrical resistivity in the temperature range 140-300 K was found to arise due to a variable range hopping conduction mechanism. The ac resistivity variation as a function of frequency (in the range 10 kHz to 3 MHz) and temperature (range 220-320 K) was explained on the basis of the power-law exponent in percolating clusters. The interfacial amorphous phase of the nanoparticle assembly appears to control the electrical behavior of the system.
