title: Ion dynamics in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses.
abstract: We have investigated ion dynamics in cadmium fluoride nonoxide glasses, in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 2 MHz and in the temperature range from room temperature to just below the glass transition temperature. We have established the existence of mixed alkali effect for these glasses from different aspects of relaxation dynamics. We have observed lower dimensionality of the conduction pathways in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses compared to that in the single alkali glasses. Although, both n and beta represent the interaction between the charge carriers, we have not found any theoretical correlation between them. Using different scaling approaches we have shown that the relaxation dynamics in mixed alkali cadmium fluoride glasses is independent of temperatures.
