The steady-state electrical conductivity of oxychloride glasses in the PbCl2-PbO · B2O3 and PbCl 2-2PbO · B2O3 systems is investigated. In the temperature range from ∼190 to ∼380°C, the dependence of logσ on the reciprocal of the temperature exhibits a linear behavior. The nature of charge carriers is studied using the Hittorf technique. It is demonstrated that protons and chlorine ions are charge carriers in solid glasses. The concentration dependence of the transport numbers of chlorine ions is examined by the Tubandt method. The contribution of the electronic component to the total electrical conductivity is estimated with the use of the Liang-Wagner technique. The concentration dependences of the electrical conductivity and the transport numbers of chlorine ions are interpreted in terms of the microinhomogeneous glass structure associated with the selective interaction of components during synthesis of glasses.
