The thermoelectric power is negative between 80 and 350 K. The measured thermoelectric power of $La_{2/3}TiO_{3-δ}$ increases linearly with temperature, in agreeent with the model proposed by C. Wood and D. Emin [Phys. Rev. B 29, 4582(1984)],and represented by A+BT. This temperature dependence indicates that the charge carrier in this material is a small polaron.There exists a linear relation between log(σT) and 1/T in the range of 200–300 K, the activation energies for small polaron hopping were 0.15, 0.21, and 0.24 eV for δ=0.16, 0.07, and 0.057, respectively. These properties are discussed in terms of a hopping process involving small polarons.This conclusion is confirmed theoretically. Based upon polaron energies obtained experimentally, several parameters relevant to small polaron transport in this material are estimated.}, pages = {2560--2563}, title = {Small polarons in $La_{2/3}TiO_{3-δ}$}, volume = {88}, year = {2000} }
