Abstract

The DC Conductivity and Differential Thermal Analysis of glasses with composition (30−x)Li2O⋅xV2O5⋅20Bi2O3⋅50B2O3(x=15, 10, 5) has been carried out in order to study the effect of replacing the Transition Metal Oxide (TMO) with alkali oxide. A significant increase in the DC conductivity has been observed with increase in alkali content. Again the thermal measurements have shown the decrease in both glass transition temperature (Tg) and crystallization temperature (Tx). The Glass Stability (GS) and Glass Forming Ability (GFA) have also been calculated and these also were found to decrease with increase in alkali oxide content at the cost of TMO.
