The glass-ceramics of the phosphorus containing Na5RSi4O12type (R=rare earth) Na+-superionic conductors (Narpsio-V) in the system Na2O-Sm2O3-P2O5-SiO2 were prepared by crystallization of glasses with the composition Na3+3x-ySm1-xPySi3-yO9. The optimum conditions for crystallization were discussed with reference to the conduction properties and the preparation of uncracked bulky glass-ceramic Narpsio-V. The ionic conductivity of the glass-ceramic Na3.9Sm0.6P0.3Si2.7O9 at 300°C was drastically enhanced from 2.38×10-2 S/cm to 7.15×10-2 S/cm upon implantation of 200 keV Na+ ions to a fluence of 1 × 1015 cm-2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
