RESUMO

Conducting glasses based on borates, silicates and silica-sulfates of alkali metals have been prepared from an appropriate mixture of powder of oxides, carbonates and sulfates. They were produced by fusion in a silicon carbide furnace up to 1400ºC and then by fast cooling. These materials have been analyzed with techniques of DC conductivity and Impedance Spectroscopy (IS) for electrical characterizations, by X Ray Diffraction (XRD) for structural analysis, Optical Absorption (OA) to verify the transmittance characteristics and by techniques of Flame Emission Spectroscopy (FES) and Rutherford Backscattering (RBS) to identify their compositions. The X Rays difractrograms have shown that they are amorphous solids. The AO spectra showed strong absorption in UV region and a full transparency for visible light. The FES and RBS techniques indicated little loss of sodium and lithium oxides, however greater loss of sulfates. The main results shown that: among all the samples the largest conductivity, of 2.3×10-4S/cm at 150ºC was found for the glass 53.4Na2O·6.6Na2SO4·40.0SiO2 mol%, characteristic of a FIC (FIC-Fast Ion Conductor) system; also a concordance of DC and AC conductivity values, and a better characterization of dielectrical properties, such as capacitance C, relaxation frequency f0 and depression angle Fi. Besides the Arrhenius in all the samples a structural non-homogeneity was found in a second semicircle by IS. Lastly a successful Ag implant on two glasses was certified by the RBS technique, by application of voltages up to 1kV.
