Abstract

The dependence of dc electrical conductivity of a series of rubidium germanate glasses on rubidium oxide concentration is correlated with the structural information obtained from extended x-ray absorption fine structure analysis, density, x-ray photoelectron, Raman and far infrared absorption spectroscopy. Previously macroscopic molar or excess volume showed the most obvious correlation with the activation energy of conductivity. The present results demonstrate additional importance of the intermediate range structure.
