Abstract
The frequency and temperature dependence of the dielectric constant, electric modulus and electrical conductivity of the transparent glasses in the composition 0.5Li2O-0.5Na2O-2B2O3 (LNBO) were investigated in the 100 Hz - 10 MHz frequency range. The dielectric data have been analyzed using Cole-Cole equation with an addition of the conductivity term. The electrical conductivity was found to be obeying Jonscher's universal law. The dielectric constant and the loss for the as-quenched glasses increased with increasing temperature, exhibiting anomalies in the vicinity of the glass transition and crystallization temperatures. The bulk DC conductivity at various temperatures was extracted from the electrical relaxation data. Conductivity plots were not found to follow Summerfield scaling due to mixed alkali effect. The imaginary part of electric modulus spectra was modeled using an approximate solution of Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) relation. The stretching exponent, {\beta}, was found to be 0.56 and temperature independent.
