Abstract

The temperature–concentration dependences of the electrical conductivity and the activation energy for electrical conduction of glasses in the Na2O–B2O3 and Na2O–2PbO · B2O3 systems are studied. The investigation into the nature of the electrical conduction in these glasses reveals that the contribution from the electronic component (10–3%) of the conductivity is within the sensitivity of the Liang–Wagner technique. A considerable alkali conductivity is observed upon introduction of more than ∼12 mol % Na2O. The true transport number of sodium η Na is as large as unity at [Na2O] ≅ 15 mol %. It is shown that the observed temperature–concentration dependences of the electrical and transport properties are governed by the ratio between the concentrations of polar and nonpolar structural–chemical units of the Na+[BO4/2]–, Na+[O–BO2/2] ⇒ Na+[O–BO2/2], Pb2+ 1/2[BO4/2]–, Pb2+ 1/2[O–BO2/2], and [BO3/2] types.
