Is there a "native" band gap in ion conducting glasses?

Abstract

It is suggested that the spectrum of ion site energies in glasses exhibits a band gap, establishing an analogy between ion conducting glasses and intrinsic semiconductors. This implies that ion conduction in glasses takes place via vacancies and interstitial ions (as in crystals).
