Abstract
Dielectric constant $\varepsilon{'}$, loss tan $\delta$ and conductivity $\sigma$, of 45ZnF 2-9PbO-( 46 - x) TeO 2-xCuO glasses (with x values ranging from 0.2 to 0.6) are studied as a function of frequency in the range 10 2 to 10 7 Hz and in the temperature range 30 to 200 °C. All these glasses are found to exhibit dipolar relaxation effects. The variation in $\varepsilon{'}$ and tan $\delta$ with frequency and temperature are observed to be strongly dependent on the concentration of CuO. The observed relaxation effects are described by Classius-Mossotti Debye relation with a set of relaxation times. The possible nature of relaxing dipoles is discussed.
