THERMOELECTRIC-POWER OF STABILIZED ZIRCONIA

is shown how the thermoelectric power of an oxide with pure oxide ion vacancy conduction can be derived. The result differs somewhat from ea rlier works on the same subject. Measurements of the thermoelectric po wer of yttria-stabilized zirconia at 1000 degrees C were performed as a function of dopant concentration. The results of the measurement are presented together with literature data. They are found to be in acce ptable agreement with the presented theory.
