Abstract
The infrared, optical absorption spectra and electrical conductivity of sodium-digerminate glasses containing iron oxide have been studied as a function of iron content. Addition of iron does not introduce any new absorption band in the infrared spectrum of pure sodium-digermanate glass. A small shift of the existing absorptions toward lower wavenumbers is observed. These are in agreement with the spectra of Fe2O3Na2O2SiO reported earlier. The optical absorption spectra also indicated that the non-bridging oxygen present in pure sodium-digermanate glass was unaffected by the addition of Fe2O3 in a small quantity. The DC conductivity measurements revealed "mixed conduction" phenomenon in which ionic as well as electronic conduction occur in the glass.
