In this paper, we report the study of microstructure dependence of ion conduction for several AgI- and Ag2S-doped glasses and glass nanocomposites systems. The structure and electrical properties of these samples have been studied and the effects of formation of nanocrystalline phases on the electrical properties of these glasses are presented. The microstructure of these glasses was studied employing transmission electron microscope (TEM). The temperature dependence of dc conductivity shows an Arrhenius nature with an activated type behavior for both the AgI- and Ag2S-containing glasses. The comparative study revealed that the formation of nanocrystallites considerably influences the electrical conductivity of these glasses, the degree of influence being dependent on the glass composition and nature of dopant.
