Abstract

Comparative neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on metal-halide MX (M = Ag, Li, Na; X = CI, Br, I) doped oxide glasses and their corresponding low conducting host glasses, e.g. M2O-2B2O3 and MPO3. The experiments reveal large changes in the intermediate range structure as the dopant salt is introduced, whereas the short range order of the host matrix is virtually unaffected by the dopant salts. An extra peak at anomalously low Q values (Q = 0.7-0.8 Å-I) appears in the structure factors of the silver-halide glasses which indicates the building up of a new type of intermediate range ordering with a characteristic length of 8-10 Å. The observation is tentatively ascribed to a-microscopic biphase system consisting of an expanded hosi glass network, unaffected on a microscopic scale, in which the silver-halide tends to form microclusters within the voids. In contrast, sodium- and lithiumhalides do not give rise to distinct new features in the structure factor. Instead a considerable smearing out of the first sharp diffraction peak of the host glaiss is observed. This indicates a partial breakdown of the intermediate range ordering of the host matrix. The results are discussed in relation to structure-conductivity models suggested for superionic glasses.
