Diffusion coefficient of yttrium ion in YCrO{sub 3}
- Tokyo Inst. of Tech., Tokyo (Japan)
The solid-state reaction; 1/2 Y{sub 2}O{sub 3} + 1/2 Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} = YCrO{sub 3} was conducted between 1,458 and 1,719 K in air (P{sub O{sub 2}} = 0.21 atm). The reaction obeyed the parabolic rate law and the diffusion of yttrium ion controlled the reaction. According to Wagner`s theory, the diffusion coefficient of yttrium ion Y{sup 3+} in YCrO{sub 3} was evaluated using the Gibbs free energy change of the reaction and the parabolic rate constant. The defect reaction, Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} + 3/2 O{sub 2} in the presence of YCrO{sub 3} yields 2 V{prime}{double_prime}{sub Y} + 2Cr{sub Cr}{sup x} + 6O{sub O}{sup X} + 6h{sup {sm_bullet}}, is predominant in the formation of yttrium vacancy. The diffusion coefficient of yttrium ion is given D{sub Y{sup 3+}}/m{sup 2} s{sup {minus}1} = [8.36 {times} 10{sup {minus}9} exp ({minus} 272/kJ/mol/RT)] P{sub O{sub 2}}{sup 3/16}a{sub Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}}{sup 1/8} where a{sub Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}} is activity of Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} and P{sub O{sub 2}} is oxygen pressure.
