A set of glass samples of nominal composition xFe₂O₃.(43-x)B₂O₃.25SiO₂.30Na₂O. 2Al₂O₃, (x ≤ 40 mol%) was prepared via an ordinary melt quenching route. The variation of structural and electrical characteristics of the prepared samples have been studied. Electrical conduction in glasses that contain Fe₂O₃ (≤ 20 mol%) is considered to be ionic. Otherwise, the polaronic conduction is dominant in glasses of higher Fe₂O₃ concentrations (>20 mol%). Energy dispersive x-ray analysis of glass containing 5 mol% Fe₂O₃ showed that only one type of modifying iron ions Fe³⁺ present in their octahedral coordination. Besides, glasses containing higher Fe₂O₃ content reveal the presence of a mixture of both ferrous and ferric ions (Fe²⁺ & Fe³⁺). A fraction of both tetrahedral (BO₄ and FeO₄) units and BO₃ groups are determined from Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopic analysis (FTIR). Increasing the fraction of tetrahedral units and decreasing BO₃ are considered as the main reasons in conductivity enhancements.

一组标称组成的玻璃样品的X的Fe ₂ Ó ₃。（43- X）乙₂ ö ₃ .25SiO ₂ .30Na ₂ O. 2AL ₂ ö ₃，（X ≤40摩尔％），通过一个普通的熔淬制备路线。研究了所制备样品的结构和电学特性的变化。包含Fe ₂ O ₃（≤20 mol％）的玻璃中的导电被认为是离子导电的。否则，在高Fe ₂ O _3的玻璃中，极化传导是主要的浓度（> 20 mol％）。含有5 mol％Fe ₂ O ₃的玻璃的能量色散X射线分析表明，八面体配位中仅存在一种类型的改性铁离子Fe ³⁺。此外，Fe ₂ O ₃含量较高的玻璃显示出铁离子和铁离子（Fe ²⁺和Fe ³⁺）的混合物的存在。四面体（BO ₄和FeO ₄）单元和BO ₃组的分数均通过傅里叶变换红外光谱分析（FTIR）确定。增加四面体单元的比例并减少BO ₃ 被认为是电导率提高的主要原因。
