Quaternary fast ionic conducting glasses with the composition, AgI-Ag2O-[(1-x)P2O5-xTeO2] (x = 0 to 1), were prepared by melt quenching. All of the compounds were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, and an amorphous nature of the samples was confirmed. The structure of all of the compositions was studied by using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. The glass transition temperatures were determined by using differential scanning calorimetry. Complex impedance measurements were performed at 40Hz to 100kHz, and the data were analyzed, by using Boukamp equivalent circuit software, to give the bulk conductivity. The highest conductivity (1.59 x 10-2S/cm) was exhibited by AgI-26.67Ag2O-13.33%(0.3P2O5-0.7TeO2).
