Abstract
Optical absorption and DC conductivity of amorphous (P2O5)50-(CuO)50−x-(Na2O)x, systems are measured as a function of sodium content up to 15mol%. The electrical resistivity and the activation energy increase with the sodium content. The optical absorption data obtained from the glasses suggest that the ratio [Cu+]/[Cu2+] in the glasses increases with increase in soda content. Thus the observed change in conductivity and optical absorption may be attributed to the change in the ratio of concentration of Cu+ and Cu2+ ions in the glasses as a consequence of changing the sodium content.
