Abstract: | The electrical conductivity of some glasses in the soda-lime-silica system was measured at 400 °C. with an apparatus which is described. The specific resistance at this temperature ranged from 0.06 to 5.0 × 105 ohms per cc. Measurements were made on other glasses containing equivalent amounts of various oxides incorporated in a parent soda-lime-silica glass. It was found that an increase in resistance was produced by additions of MnO, ZnO, B2O3, Fe2O3, BaO, PbO, TiO2, and K2O, the resistances increasing in this order. A decreased resistance was produced by Na2O, CaO, and Al2O3. Previously published data on the power factors of these glasses are reviewed. |
