β¦ Synopsis
The conductivity measurements of 60WO 3 -40B 2 O 3 and 40WO 3 -5Sb 2 O 3 -55TeO 2 glasses have been carried out as a function of temperature. The results suggest that the conduction occurs by hopping of small polarons. Dielectric measurements of 60WO 3 -40B 2 O 3 glass show that the temperature behavior could be described in terms of Debye type dispersion. The oxygen sensing properties of 40WO 3 -5Sb 2 O 3 -55TeO 2 were also examined. The reduction in its conductivity in oxygen is attributed to the oxidation of W 5+ ions to W 6+ ions. A large change in the conductivity of this tellurite based glass in oxygen suggests that the glass can be used as a potential oxygen gas sensor.
