    Abstract:
    Broadband dielectric and terahertz spectroscopy (10(-2)-10(+12) Hz) are combined with pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG-NMR) to explore charge transport and translational diffusion in the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid. The dielectric spectra are interpreted as superposition of high-frequency relaxation processes associated with dipolar librations and a conductivity contribution. The latter originates from hopping of charge carriers on a random spatially varying potential landscape and quantitatively fits the observed frequency and temperature dependence of the spectra. A further analysis delivers the hopping rate and enables one to deduce--using the Einstein-Smoluchowski equation--the translational diffusion coefficient of the charge carriers in quantitative agreement with PFG-NMR measurements. By that, the mobility is determined and separated from the charge carrier density; for the former, a Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann and for the latter, an Arrhenius temperature dependence is obtained. There is no indication of a mode arising from the reorientation of stable ion pairs.
