Effects of temperature, titanium content and laser irradiation on the electrosonic properties of some related silicate glasses

Abstract In the present communication, pure and various titania-containing silicate glasses have been synthesized and identified. Extensive studies of the temperature dependence of the DC electrical conductivity, activation energy for conduction, ultrasonic attenuation, and attenuation coefficient as a function of temperature of these specimens were examined and discussed in detail. Promising results were obtained and the role of titanium and laser irradiation were clearly defined. Finally, a correlation for the electrical log σ, Δ E and ultrasonic (α) properties has been proposed for the first time for the electronic glass industry.
