The glass composition 40 Li 2 O –5 WO 3–(55−x) B 2 O 3: x V 2 O 5 for x = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 is chosen for the present study. The glass samples were synthesized by conventional melt-quenching technique. The dielectric properties such as constant (ε′), loss (tan δ) and ac conductivity (σac) are carried out as a function of temperature (30–270°C) and frequency (102–105 Hz). The glass sample (at x = 0.6) exhibited highest ac conductivity (σac) and spreading factor (β) among all the samples. All glasses exhibited mixed conduction (both electronic and ionic) at high temperatures. The frequency exponent s denotes the ac conduction mechanism is associated with both QMT model (at low temperatures) and CBH model (at high temperatures).
