S. Takai et al., CONDUCTIVITY RELAXATION STUDY ON (BI2O3)(1-X)(Y2O3)(X) AND (BI2O3)(1-X)(GD2O3)(X) WITH THE DEFECT FLUORITE STRUCTURE, Materials research bulletin, 33(6), 1998, pp. 945-953
In order to investigate the conductivity phenomena below 400 degrees C
in high-temperature-type oxide ion conductors of (Bi2O3)(1-x)(Y2O3)(x
) and (Bi2O3)(1-x)(Gd2O3)(x), impedance spectra were measured in the f
requency range between 20 Hz and 1 MHz. The conductivity relaxation ph
enomena observed were studied in terms of the electric modulus formula
. The relaxation frequencies were found to show Arrhenius-type behavio
r and the activation energies were in good agreement with those obtain
ed by high temperature electric conductivity. (C) 1998 Elsevier Scienc
