Abstract

The appropriate amount of fullerene doping in phosphate and fluorophosphate optical glasses modifies the structures of glass matrices by bonding the nearby -[PO4]-tetrahedra with nonbridging oxygen anions, and consequently building up observable conductivity at room temperature. Non-Arrhenius ionic conductivity is observed, which is interpreted as a result of the temperature dependence of the activation energies of the mobile cations. The variation of microphotoluminescence induced by the electric field presents us with an indirect way to characterize the random activation, percolation migration, and retrap of metal cations near fullerene-related amorphous islands.
