Abstract

We have reported the formation of ZnO nanoparticles and α-AgI nanocrystals embedded in the glass matrix in the 0.70AgI–0.15Ag2O–0.15[xZnO–(1−x)MoO3], x=0.05–0.30, glass nanocomposites from x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy patterns. Fourier transform infrared spectra have revealed the strong partial covalency due to the presence of Ag+ and MoO42− ions. It is observed that the variation of the conductivity of the composites is well correlated to their structural behavior. A structural model to account for the electrical properties has been proposed.
