Effects Of Increasing Europium And Sodium Concentration On The Ionic Conductivity In Aluminosilicate Glasses

Abstract

The ionic conductivity of aluminosilicate glass is measured as a function of increasing europium dopants. The conductivity is also measured as a function of increasing sodium content. A comparison of the effects in varying europium and sodium concentration will be made. The frequency characteristics are also presented in the modulus, dielectric, and loss-angle formalism. In order to properly present the experimental data, the theory in atomic structure of glass, ionic conductivity, and impedance spectroscopy will be discussed briefly. A summary of impedance measurement techniques will also be discussed
