Abstract

We have reported the formation of ZnO nanoparticles and α-AgI nanocrystals embedded in the glass matrix in the 0.70AgI-0.15Ag2O-0.15[xZnO-(1-x)MoO3], x=0.05-0.30, glass nanocomposites from X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high resolution transmission electron microscopy patterns. Fourier transform infrared spectra have revealed the strong partial covalency due to the presence of Ag+and MoO42-ions. It is observed that the variation of the conductivity of the composites is well correlated to their structural behavior. A structural model to account for the electrical properties has been proposed.
