Resumo

Experimental data from the literature on electrical conductivity are reviewed for 43 glass compositions in the xLi(2)O-(1-x)SiO(2) system (0.05<x<0.67). The data are presented herein as a function of temperature and in isothermal plots as a function of the Li(2)O molar ratio, x. Below the glass transition temperature, T(g), the experimental ionic conductivity of all the compositions follows an Arrhenius law, sigma=sigma(0)exp(-E(A)/RT). The large quantity of experimental data minimizes the experimental inaccuracy in glass composition and conductivity measurements, thus allowing for accurate estimates of the mean values of the pre-exponential term (sigma(0)) of the Arrhenius expression and the activation energy (E(A)), as well as a precise assessment of the variations in isothermal conductivity with the molar ratio, x. The value of the pre-exponential term and the variation of isothermal conductivity and activation energy with x are then interpreted by reference to general concepts for ionic transport in solids, and to the so-called weak electrolyte theory. The Anderson \& Stuart model is employed to estimate the absolute values of activation energy. The association of the intrinsic cationic pair model and the weak electrolyte theory provides a good description of the variations in electrical conductivity and activation energy as a function of the Li(2)O molar ratio. The Anderson \& Stuart model leads to consistent absolute values of activation energy only if an arbitrarily chosen value of jump distance is employed in the corresponding expression. (AU)
