The IVR at various values of air humidity testifies to the tunneling mechanism of the conductivity [89]. It is believed that the adsorption of water, most probably as a dimer complexes (H20)2 typical for water vapors, on the boundary between semiconductor PbO and PPX matrix gives localized positively charged states such as H30+---H20 in the intervals between PbO particles that favors the interparticle electron transfer. Similar effects are considered in work [101]. Such process results in substantial increase of conductivity provided that water complexes fill if not all but the...
