Abstract

Glass compositions of 30Li2O·20PbO·xBi2O3·(50−x)B2O3 (x ranges from 0 mol% to 40 mol%) have been prepared. Conductivity and electric modulus formalism were used to investigate the fabricated glass series in the frequency range between 10−1–107 Hz, and the temperature range between 473–613 K. AC conductivity experimental data were fitted with Jonscher's power law. Electrical characteristics like crossover frequency (\({\omega }_{H}\)), frequency exponent (s), and dc conductivity (σac) were extracted. With the rise in bismuth concentration, the conductivity values first increase and then decrease when the concentration of bismuth exceeded the constant concentration (30 mol%) of lithium content. The decrease in the frequency exponent parameter values with the rise in temperature indicates that all the glass compositions followed the conduction mechanism of correlated barrier hopping.
