Abstract
New glasses have been prepared according to these formulas (70– x)V 2O 5–30BaF 2– xAF, where AF=LiF or NaF and (60– x)V 2O 5–30BaF 2–10LiF– xAF, where AF=NaF and x=10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 mol%. Density of the glasses was measured and molar volume calculated and they correlated with the AF content. The dc conductivity has been measured in the temperature range from 302 to 453 K. The dc conductivity increases with temperature and V 2O 5 content, while it decreases with the alkali fluoride content. Conductivity has been correlated with the calculated polaron distance, R, and glass transition temperature, T g . The activation energy, W, increases with the increase in the alkali fluoride, while it decreases with the V 2O 5 content. Some parameters like polaron distance, R, polaron radius, r p , ion concentrations, n(V), n(Li) or n(Na), hopping energy, W H , density of localized states at Fermi level, N( E F ), polaron coupling constant, γ p , polaron band width, J, hopping mobility, μ, and carrier density for electronic conduction, N c , were calculated to explain the conduction mechanism and behavior of the present glasses.
