title: Electrical conductivity and relaxation in mixed alkali tellurite glasses.
abstract: The authors have reported the electrical conductivity and the conductivity relaxation in mixed alkali tellurite glasses of compositions of 70TeO2-xNa2O-(30-x)Li2O 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. They have analyzed the relaxation data in the framework of different models. They have observed the mixed alkali effect in the dc and ac conductivities, the crossover frequency, and the conductivity relaxation frequency as well as in their respective activation energies in these glasses. They have also observed the mixed alkali effect in the decoupling index. The scaling property of the modulus spectra of these mixed alkali glasses shows that the conductivity relaxation in the mixed alkali tellurite glasses is independent of temperature but depends on the glass compositions.
