Abstract This comprehensive study investigates the comparative dielectric and spectroscopic properties of PbO―Bi₂O₃―SiO₂ glass systems doped with transition metal oxides (NiO and CoO). Glass samples with compositions 50PbO―30Bi₂O₃―20SiO₂: xNiO/CoO (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mol%) were synthesized using the conventional melt-quench technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the amorphous nature of all prepared glasses. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed structural modifications in the glass network, with characteristic absorption bands corresponding to Si-O-Si stretching vibrations and metal-oxygen bonds. UV-visible spectroscopy demonstrated the presence of Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺ ions in both octahedral and tetrahedral coordination states. Dielectric measurements conducted over a frequency range of 100 Hz to 1 MHz and a temperature range of 303-523 K showed that dielectric constant and AC conductivity decrease with increasing transition metal oxide content, attributed to the incorporation of TM²⁺ ions into the glass network. The activation energy for AC conduction increased from 0.42 eV to 0.68 eV for NiO-doped glasses and from 0.45 eV to 0.71 eV for CoO-doped glasses. Complex impedance analysis revealed space charge polarization mechanisms. These findings suggest potential applications in electronic devices and radiation shielding materials.
