Glass Formation And High Conductivity In The Ternary System Silver Iodide + Silver Arsenate (Ag3aso4) + Silver Metaphosphate (Agpo3): Host To Glassy .Alpha.-Silver Iodide?, Steve W. Martin, Alberto Schiraldi

Steve W. Martin

Wide regions of glass formation have been found in the ternary system xAgI + yAg,As04 + (1 - x - y)AgPO,. Glasses containing up to 75 mol 7% AgI can be formed in sections greater than 2 cm thick without signs of devitrification. Glass transition temperatures as high as 175 OC for glasses containing - 10 mol % AgI fall to -45 OC at the highest AgI content. An equivalent ratio of Ag1:N is defined and it is found that, for all glass-forming compositions, the electrical data as expressed in the Arrhenius form, u = A exp(-E,,/RT), log (./(a cm)-’), …
