Scaling of the Conductivity Spectra in Ionic Glasses: Dependence on the Structure

Abstract

A scaling approach in the conductivity formalism is applied to lithium tellurite glasses of different compositions. We observe that the hopping frequency can be used as the scaling frequency in the absence of well-defined dielectric loss peaks, and a universality of the scaling of the conductivity can be obtained for compositions with a similar structure. Further, the reasons behind the inapplicability of the scaling approach reported recently are elucidated in terms of structure of the glasses.
