The properties of superionic glasses were studied, at temperatures ranging from 24 to 182C, by using complex impedance and radiation absorption methods. It was found that the Ag self-diffusivity ranged from 2 x 10-9 to 7 x 10-7cm2/s. It was noted that the properties depended upon the method of preparation and the thermal history of the samples. The conductivities and self-diffusion coefficients (table 185) were related by using the Nernst-Einstein equation. The Haven ratios, of between 0.19 and 0.38 (table 186), were suggested to indicate the operation of an interstitialcy mechanism for Ag transport.
