The conductivity of glasses in the 50WO3-(50-x)P2O5-xA2O (A = Na, K, Cs) system has been investigated as a function of composition. It is shown that in tungstenite-phosphate glasses containing different alkali metal ions the conductivity decreases with an increase in the alkali metal ion content. A decrease in conductivity is larger for heavier ions and reaches more than seven orders of magnitude in the case of glass containing Cs2O. This behavior remains in contrast to the literature data on conductivity in transitionmetal oxide glasses containing alkali metal ions where usually strong conductivity anomalies of several orders of magnitude at certain amount of ions are observed. No necessity of ion-polaron interaction has been pointed out.
