Abstract
Ag2S doped Sulphur–Tellurium chalcogenide glassy system has been developed and their dielectric properties and electrical conductivity have been studied. Electrical conductivity via hopping of polarons in the present system is found to decrease due to large number of defects. TEM micrographs reveal the formation of Ag2S, Ag2Te and AgTe3 nanophases, whose sizes are found to decrease with compositions. Almond-West formalism has been used to analyze the thermally activated nature of conductivity spectra. Hunt’s model is used to reveal dielectric relaxation process with composition, which is justified by microstructure, revealed from TEM micrographs. Peak frequency (ωm) corresponding to imaginary modulus spectra shows Arrhenius relation. The results may reveal the opening for the development, significance and investigation of electrical and dielectric properties of chalcogenide glassy system.
