Tóm tắt

A model is proposed to explain the phenomenon of electrode “polarization” in glasses containing alkali oxides. The application of a dc potential to Pt electrodes on an alkali‐containing glass causes a large electric field to develop in the immediate vicinity of the anode. This high‐field region is formed by local dissociation of the alkali oxides and displacement of the dissociated ions from the region. A major hypothesis of the model is that the nonbridging oxygen ions in this region can move and can determine the electrical characteristics of the sample. Large electric fields can also develop at a partially blocking cathode as a result of the pileup of alkali ions beneath the cathode surface. Permanent compositional changes occur near both electrodes under such conditions. The model was confirmed by dc electrical measurements, electron‐microprobe data, and oxygen‐evolution data. Important physical parameters of the model were calculated from the data.
