Abstract

Silver phosphate (Ag2O–P2O5) glasses undoped and doped with 5, 10, 15 and 20 mass% SrO were prepared by quench melt method. The glasses were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopic techniques. Electrical conductivities, dielectric constants and dielectric losses at different temperatures and frequencies were also measured. It was found that the glassy character decreased with dopant concentration. Electrical conductivities increased with temperature and decreased with frequency. Results have been discussed.
