Abstract

(42.25-x)Na2O + (42.25-x)P2O5 + 15ZnO + 0.5Er2O3 + xYb2O3 with (x = 0, 0.5,1, and 1.5%) were processed using the melt quenching method. DSC is used to control the stability of the glass. XRD patterns and Raman analysis were performed to understand the structure of the glass samples. The impedance spectra were analyzed in terms of an equivalent circuit involving bulk resistor (Rb) and bulk constant phase elements (CPEb). The ac-conductivity analysis was used to evaluate the effect of increasing the percentage of Yb2O3in the glass. Our findings prove that the relaxation time decreases with rising temperature, as well as the average value of the activation energy was in the order of 0.97 eV, which leads to an increase in the ionic conductivity. An improvement in ionic conductivity was demonstrated with the incorporation of Er2O3 and Yb2O3contents.
