## Abstract

Glasses in the system $Li_2O-O_2–P_2O_5$ have been prepared using melt quenching route. $Li^+$ ion transport has been investigated in these glasses using both d.c. and a.c. conductivity measurements. Arrhenius plots of d.c. conductivity exhibits two different slopes, which has been discussed in the light of cluster-tissue model. A.c. conductivity data has been fitted to single power law. Dielectric relaxation has been analyzed based on the behaviour of moduli. Good collapse on to master plots is observed for both a.c. conductivity and moduli. The behaviour of $E_{dc}$, s and $\beta$ are found to be consistent when conductivity mechanism is considered as involving NBO–BO switching as the first step, which is followed by $Li^+$ ion migration.
