Abstract
The role of CuO on the physical and electrical properties in x CuO.(25-x)Bi2O3.75B2O3;(5≤x≤20) glass system has been investigated. The glasses were prepared by normal melt quench technique. The density and molar volume of the glasses decreases with increase in CuO (mol %). The dc conductivity was measured in the temperature range 413-513 K. The conduction mechanism in these glasses was discussed in terms of small polaron hopping (SPH) theory proposed by Mott. The activation energy is found to decrease with increasing copper oxide content. The dc conductivity increases with increase in CuO content and ranging from 6.02×10−12 (Ωm)−1 to 1.096×10−10 (Ωm)−1 at 450K.
