Abstract

Glasses in the system $(100-x)Li_2B_4O_7–x(SrO-Bi_2O_3-0.7Nb_2O_5-0.3V_2O_5)$ (where x = 10, 30 and 50, in molar ratio) were fabricated via melt quenching technique. The compositional dependence of the glass transition $(T_g)$ and crystallization $(T_c_r)$ temperatures was determined by differential thermal analysis. The as-quenched glasses on heat-treatment at 783 K for 6 h yielded monophasic crystalline strontium bismuth niobate doped with vanadium $(SrBi_2(Nb_0_._7V_0_._3)_2O_9-_{\delta}$ (SBVN)) in lithium borate (Li2B4O7 (LBO)) glass matrix. The formation of nanocrystalline layered perovskite SBVN phase was preceded by the fluorite phase as established by both the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The dielectric constants for both the as-quenched glass and glass–nanocrystal composite increased with increasing temperature in the 300–873 K range, exhibiting a maximum in the vicinity of the crystallization temperature of the host glass matrix. The electrical behavior of the glasses and glass–nanocrystal composites was characterized using impedance spectroscopy.
